Herbruck's Poultry Ranch Laying Off About 400 Staff in Michigan Due to Bird Flu
Herbruck's Poultry Ranch is temporarily laying off about 400 employees in Michigan due to the spread of bird flu.
The company's chief human resources officer Stephanie Kempa said the virus impacted the company's hen population at some farms in Ionia County.
"The company plans to rehire many positions as hen replenishing and egg production increases," Kempa said in a letter to the state Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity.
