Fort Worth (WBAP/KLIF) – Walmart is laying off more than 1,000 workers at its e-commerce fulfillment center in Fort Worth. The layoffs are part of a nationwide series of cutbacks and consolidations Walmart is making as the economy recovers. Walmart says it is eliminating weekend and evening shifts that it put in place to deal with a sudden increase in online orders during the pandemic. Walmart insists it is not closing the facilities, and it is giving the laid-off employees 90 days paid leave to look for other jobs, hoping they’ll “choose to stay with Walmart.”
