Wright State University’s food and beverage contractor at the Nutter Center is ending operations there, laying off 77 workers, according to state records.
ASM Global, Savor will “cease conducting business at” the Nutter Center Feb. 23, a notice required by the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act states.
“This letter serves to give you advance notice of the ASM Global exiting the Nutter Center,” ASM Global human resource Director Kimberly Miller said in the document dated Feb. 12. “This closing will involve cessation of all operations of ASM Global, Savor and termination of all employees at the site from ASM Global payroll.”
The job cuts will involve four managers and 73 staff members in food and beverage operations at the Nutter Center, according to the letter.
The university and the contractor “have been engaged in productive and amicable negotiations to establish an agreement for Savor to operate the food and beverage component of the Nutter Center. The parties were unable to come to agreement on terms,” WSU communications Director Seth Bauguess told the Dayton Daily News.
Bauguess said the university also contracts with Quest, a third-party food service vendor, for food and beverage service, and that Quest has agreed to expand its operation, taking over the food and beverage operations at Nutter Center.
