East Pottsville, PA – A major workforce reduction is set to impact Schuylkill County as Lineage Logistics prepares to lay off more than 200 employees at its East Pottsville facility.
According to a WARN notice filed with the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry, the layoffs are scheduled to take effect Wednesday, May 27, 2026, at the company’s location on Keystone Boulevard. The filing indicates that a total of 208 workers will be affected by the workforce reduction.
Lineage Logistics, a global temperature-controlled warehouse and logistics company, has not publicly detailed the specific reasons behind the layoffs. However, WARN notices are typically required when companies plan significant job cuts or facility closures, giving employees and local officials advance notice to prepare for economic impacts.
The East Pottsville facility has been a key employer in the region, and the loss of more than 200 jobs is expected to have a ripple effect throughout the local economy. Workforce development agencies and local officials may begin coordinating job placement services and support resources for displaced workers in the coming weeks.
State labor officials encourage impacted employees to explore available assistance programs, including unemployment benefits, retraining opportunities, and job search services. Community leaders are also expected to monitor the situation closely as more details emerge about the future of the facility.
This layoff marks one of the larger workforce reductions reported in Pennsylvania this year and underscores ongoing shifts within the logistics and supply chain industry.
As the May deadline approaches, additional information may be released regarding severance, transition assistance, and potential future use of the East Pottsville site.
