NEBRASKA OFFERING LIFELINE TO HELP TYSON PLANT WORKERS LOSING THEIR JOBS

LEXINGTON - Gov. Jim Pillen announced Saturday a "rapid response layoff services event" Wednesday and Thursday for workers who will be affected by the closure of Tyson Foods' plant in Lexington in January.

At the Dawson County Fairgrounds event, state agencies will link those affected to resources such as unemployment insurance benefits, job search resources and economic support programs, according to a news release from the governor's office. Tyson will convey timing for the event to workers, the release said.

“The whole state is behind the community of Lexington as they face this tough transition,” Pillen said. “Our state agencies are working together to provide the support this community deserves.” The state departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, Economic Development and Agriculture will partner with local Lexington organizations to connect Tyson’s workers and their families with various assistance programs and support.
