STEVENS POINT, WI (WSAU-WAOW) -- Officials in Stevens Point are anticipating significant job losses at Donaldson Company, Inc. according to WAOW TV. Multiple employees with the company have contacted the Mayor of Stevens Point, North Central Workforce Development, and local about the possibility of more than 200 layoffs; with dozens let go as of Wednesday. Workforce Development and the Mayor of Stevens Point say company hasn’t filed a warning notice with the state yet. “We have not gotten an official notice at all from Donaldson, but the rumors have been that they’re anticipating some job losses there,” Stevens Point Mayor Mike Wiza said. “We’ve gotten a couple of calls here at city hall and I know other places have gotten calls too, from workers who found out things apparently through their employer Donaldson and they’re just kind of curious.” Some employees also told WAOW they’re concerned about their futures and the potential impact the loss of so many jobs could have on the city. “If there’s something we can do to help these potentially displaced workers, we want to be prepared to do so,” Mayor Wiza added. “We want to let them know that we’re doing what we can to make sure that they have some place to go, and that it doesn’t turn into a life changing event.” https://wsau.com/news/articles/2019/may/09/layoffs-likely-at-donaldson-company/
