All locations will be closed and/or lay off some number of employees. As the memo stated:

"We regret to inform you that your employment with Yellow Corporation, or one of its subsidiaries, (collectively referred to as the 'Company') will permanently terminate on July 28, 2023, or within 14 days after (the 'Separation Date'). The Company is shutting down its regular operations on July 28, 2023, closing and/or laying off employees at all of its locations, including yours (the 'Shut Down')."

The company on Friday morning laid off an unknown number of office employees, most of which were nonunion. It said in a memo to the laid-off employees that it was unable to alert them previously of this closing of business "because the Shut Down was not reasonably foreseeable."
