Let’s hope this doesn’t happen, but there’s a real chance that 870 Illinois workers may be about to lose their job and not know it – yet. It’s no secret that 2024 has been a rough year for many businesses and that definitely includes True Value. There are reports that the company may be saved (somewhat) by a buy out, but that’s not a certainty yet. This disturbing turn of the True Value saga was reported today by the Chicago Tribune. They are reporting that True Value says if the buyout by competitor Do It Best does not go through, 870 Illinois workers will likely lose their jobs.
