Missouri Food Service Company Lays Off 69 After Contract Loss

A food service company has informed the state of Missouri that they will be starting a mass layoff of 69 workers after a loss of contract later this year.

I was just notified by the Missouri Jobs site that a company has informed them of another mass layoff that's happening in the St. Charles area. It's a WARN notice that was submitted by Aramark. Here's why the layoff is happening according to their notice to the state:

"Aramark Services, Inc recently learned that it would not be retained to provide food services at Boeing beyond November 16, 2026. We regret to inform you that all Aramark employees assigned to that client account will be affected."

They added details that give some hope that some or many of their workers might be able to continue with a new provider:

"As a result of the cessation of services described above, Aramark expects to permanently terminate the employment of its employees at Boeing on November 16, 2026. It is our understanding that most displaced workers typically have continued employment opportunities with the incoming provider."

According to the state of Missouri Jobs site, this brings the total number of layoffs from companies governed by the WARN notice requirement to 2,933.
