Del Monte foods closing 2 more plants, laying off hundreds

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/del-monte-foods-closing-two-more-us-plants-laying-off-hundreds/

Del Monte Foods is closing two manufacturing plants and selling two others, affecting more than 800 jobs.

Company executives (say the company) is streamlining its domestic operations amid headwinds that include U.S. tariffs on China and rising metal costs.

Food manufacturers announced nearly 16,000 layoffs in the first seven months of the year, the highest for the period since 2009.

Just sayin'.
