Construction firm Turner Industries to cut 250 Texas jobs (updated)
(Adds comment from layoff notice)
July 12 (Reuters) - Construction and equipment company
Turner Industries will eliminate 250 jobs in Texas next month,
according to a filing with the Texas Workforce Commission.
The company's services include heavy industrial
construction, pipe and vessel fabrication, and turnaround work
for the refining industry.
"The economic circumstances requiring these layoffs are
driven by business conditions that have not improved and adverse
developments regarding customer orders and deliverables," the
company said in the filing.
The job cuts will occur in Paris, Texas and are anticipated
to be temporary, the filing said.
The company did not immediately respond to a request for
comment.
