July likely time for closing O’Sullivan plant in Lamar Jasen Jones, executive director of the WorkforceJim Moss 6/19/07 stet Investment Board of Southwest Missouri, continues organizing informational meetings and job fairs for O’Sullivan employees. The board recently had a “transitions fair” in Lamar for employees who are interested in changing vocations. Jones said more than 200 current and former O’Sullivan employees attended. He said another career fair is coming up for those who want to stay in manufacturing.
The career fair scheduled for next week will feature more than 24 companies from across the region, including Contract Freighters Inc., Leggett & Platt Inc., staffing agencies Adecco and PenMac Personnel, and the new AT&T call center being built in Joplin, as well as manufacturers from Northeast Oklahoma and Southeast Kansas. “This (hiring fair) should be strong as well,” Jones said. “We’re looking for a good response.” Jones said O’Sullivan’s work force is especially valuable because of the number of longtime employees. “It’s an extremely loyal and skilled work force, and we’re really promoting that to the employers,” he said. “They’re pretty excited about it.” Melissa Dunson is the business writer for The Joplin Globe. Hiring fair The Missouri Career Center will have a hiring fair for displaced O’Sullivan Industries employees from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday, June 28, at Memorial Hall in Lamar.
