FRESNO, Calif. (KMJ/KFSN) — Two Valley lawmakers are offering resources and support for employees who will be impacted by the Prima Wawona closure.
The local produce company filed for bankruptcy back in October, then sent notices to workers about massive layoffs that could start March 12.
Monday morning, Assemblymember Dr. Joaquin Arambula and Senator Anna Caballero hosted a town hall, in partnership with Proteus Incorporated.
They went over resources and services for impacted workers, including assistance with unemployment applications, career counseling, job training and access to food and housing.
Prima® Wawona, the world’s leading grower of peaches, plums, and nectarines, is not affiliated in any way to the San Joaquin Valley-based, family-owned and operated Wawona Frozen Foods.
