The concern announced that it is “obliged” to support those who “suffered” as a result of closing the production plant.

Closing the production plant in Rancho Cucamong is part of a wider plan to close Pepsico. As the “Los Angeles Times” reminds, At the beginning of this year, the company announced the closing of the frito-lay factory in Liberty, New York, releasing 287 employees and eliminating 56 jobs in the magazine in Maryland.
The Employment Development Department confirmed that Frito-Lay did not submit a notification of the adaptation and retraining of employees (WARN) at the Office, which usually requires employers from notification 60 days in advance about mass dismissals.

Closures take place when Pepsico is struggling with the falling sales of snacks. General Director of Ramon Laguart, who recalls the “Los Angeles Times”, said that the company “adapts the costs” of its snack department after the sales volume of Frito-Lay slightly dropped in the first quarter. PEPSICO still has over 30 bets producing Frito-Lay in the USA.
