Conshohocken Company To Lay Off 72 Employees

CONSHOHOCKEN, PA — A Conshohocken compnay plans to lay off 72 employees over the coming weeks, according to a WARN notice filed with the Pennsylvania Department of Labor.

The cuts are being made by Universal Protective Services, a part of Allied Universal Security Systems.

It's not yet known exactly what is spurring the layoffs, and the company has not issued a public statement about the situation beyond the WARN notice mandated by the state.

A Philadelphia Business Journal report notes that the company is simply "phasing out" some of its positions.

The layoffs are effective on a series of dates throughout the summer, including May 19, 23, and 30, June 6, 20, and 27, July 11 and 18, Aug. 8, 22, and 29, and Sept. 12.

Allied is based on 161 Washington Street in Conshohocken.
