Congressman Cohen Responds to XPO Logistics Layoff Announcement

WASHINGTON – Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-09) was notified of the layoffs at XPO Logistics and made the following statement:

"I am very disappointed that XPO Logistics will lay off more than 400 employees. I have previously met with employees and with the senior management of the company regarding labor issues. I have another meeting with company officials scheduled in two weeks when I look forward to addressing these issues further. This new layoff development is disturbing and I hope the employees affected will be treated fairly and ultimately find new jobs."

XPO Logistics, based in Greenwich, Connecticut, recently announced layoffs of 167 employees at a warehouse in Aberdeen, Maryland, and another 136 employees at its facility in Kansas City.
