Kellogg's Nationwide Job Cuts, Affecting Horsham Plant, Are Reportedly Being Under-Reported

HORSHAM, PA — The job cuts affecting the Kellogg's Horsham plant and other plants across the nation are worse than the company says, reports state.

A longtime Kellogg's employee recently told Philly.com that the company is under-reporting the number of jobs which will be lost as they streamline their delivery process. That employee estimates that around 8,000 to 10,000 jobs could be lost, which would impact nearly a quarter of the company's entire workforce of 36,000.

Originally, the layoff was supposed to impact around 1,500 employees.

Kellogg's did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the number of jobs being cut.

The cuts are confirmed to include 292 employees at Kellogg's Horsham plant on Witmer Road. Those layoffs are expected to go into effect this summer when the plant closes between Aug. 4 and Aug. 17.

Nationwide, distribution centers in at least 39 cities will be closed.

More information will be provided as it becomes available.
