The layoffs are at the Wire Mill at 1225 Central, according to the notice.
"These layoffs commenced on April 9, 2020. (They) will continue indefinitely, but are intended to be temporary and last less than six months."
Company officials say the action was taken "because of COVID-19 pandemic, the World Health's Organization's pandemic declaration on March 11, the President's declaration of a national emergency on March 13 and other related governmental announcements and actions," the notice says, using the same exact wording as was used during the earlier layoffs of 422 and 215 employees.
With the three rounds of layoffs, Leggett & Platt, Carthage's biggest employer, has now placed 720 employees on unpaid leave.
