More than 100 Shelby County workers will lose their jobs, according to the most recent Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development dislocated worker report released Monday.
Medtronic Inc., VML Co. LLC and Shelby County government all filed letters notifying the department that they will lay off a sum of 105 workers.
Medtronic Spinal and Biologics will lay off 56 employees effective Aug. 17.
VML Co. notified the department that it will close its local operation at 2070 Channel Ave. and take 28 jobs with it. Memphis-based VML specialized in the production of household linens, polish, sanitation goods, soaps and detergents.
Shelby County government will shed 21 workers. More detailed information about the layoffs, including what departments they will come from, was not immediately available.
In February, Shelby County filed a notice with the state that said it would laid off 225 people from the Shelby County Juvenile Court at 616 Adams. The layoffs were effective June 30.
The county’s letter to the department did not cite any reasons for the layoffs, but in February county officials warned of such cuts after the state awarded the Shelby County child support collection contract to Maximus Human Services, a private company based in Virginia.
