Borders Books officially notified Tennessee labor officials this week that the company will lay off 120 workers at its distribution facility in La Vergne. Borders alerted employees of the job cuts in late December.
The positions are part of a unit that handles returns for the book store chain and will be consolidated to another site in Pennsylvania next month. The shifting still leaves 600 jobs at Borders’ logistics hub in La Vergne.
Also reported to the state this week, bankrupt debt collector Axiant will cut 51 jobs at its office in Nashville. And a company that packs and ships computer accessories, Celestica, plans to close its Mt. Juliet facility at the end of April and lay off 43 workers.
