Schneider National Inc, a provider of transportation, logistics, and intermodal services, will close operating centers (fuel, maintenance, and operations facilities) in Seville OH and Green Bay WI on November 17, 2009.
The two facilities are the least-utilized within the company’s network of national driver facilities.
A total of 105 Green Bay and Seville associate roles will be eliminated. In Seville, 10 office and 45 maintenance and driver services positions will be eliminated; in Green Bay, 50 maintenance and driver services positions are being eliminated. As part of the closure, approximately 80 Green Bay operations office associates will be relocated to another facility in Green Bay by the end of 2009. No driving positions are affected by these decisions.
Company support for affected associates includes severance packages, career transition services, and an extended employee assistance program. In addition, Schneider will host job fairs in Seville and Green Bay to introduce affected associates to area employers. Associates will have opportunities to apply for any other available Schneider job openings for which they are qualified. Schneider currently employs more than 19,000 associates worldwide.
