Fisher responds to massive DHL job loss

Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher (D) responded to Monday's news that freight carrier DHL will lay off people at its Wilmington facility.

Earlier this year the estimated number of people who were going to be put out of work once the DHL-UPS merger occured was 8,000. However, a DHL spokesperson said the 9,500 people to be cut work throughout the country and will not be all cut from Ohio.

Still, Fisher said the state's special taskforce will help workers cope.

“This is heart-breaking news for the city of Wilmington and Southwest Ohio," he said in a statement. “While our DHL Economic Task Force, organized by Lt. Governor Lee Fisher and Wilmington Mayor David Raizk, had worked for a different outcome, we will now focus on doing everything we can to help the affected workers, their families and their communities. Workforce investment boards across the region have come together to offer job placement and retraining resources to those who need it, and the Wilmington Business Resource Center is open to anyone looking for business assistance and guidance.

“We stand ready to support the people of Southwest Ohio in whatever way we can, and we will continue our charge to work every day to grow jobs in Ohio.”
