Morgan Olson, LLC, a maker of walk-in vans, will lay off 250 employees in the new year. A WARN Notice, filed with the Tennessee Department of Labor, announced the permanent job cuts starting February 11, 2025, as reported by WATE.

The employees at the facility are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. After the rapid response team was notified last Wednesday, efforts are being made to assist the affected workers and minimize the impact of job losses. This news came just days before Christmas, as stated by a WVLT.

Morgan Olson's expansion in Loudon County, which "provides meaningful work for over six hundred team members," is now facing layoffs. The East Local Workforce Development Board's Rapid Response team will help workers affected by the layoffs, scheduled for February, by providing resources for new job opportunities and training, as detailed by WBIR.
