A Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act notice filed with the North Carolina Department of Commerce says line assembly, quality control and supervision positions will be affected. The final separation date for the plant’s production employees is Sept. 2, and warehouse employees separate on Nov. 18. Affected employees do not have a union representative, according to the report. 

Medline spokeswoman Kristi Krasovetz said that employees would receive severance packages and outplacement services and were encouraged to apply for other positions at Medline. 

“Medline will also host an on-site job fair with local hiring companies to provide additional interview opportunities to interested employees,” Ms. Krasovetz said.
