Kodak Layoffs in Ohio

Eastman Kodak Co. will lay off 66 employees by April 19, the company has told the Ohio government. “Over the next few weeks, smaller layoffs are expected from other departments in Dayton, and we will keep you updated as they occur,” Marva Cosby, Kodak human resources director for digital printing solutions, said in the letter.

Earlier this month, in response to questions from the Dayton Daily News, a Kodak spokesman acknowledged that 80 or more of the company’s approximately 500 Kettering employees will be laid off. The layoffs represent about 16 percent of Kodak’s local work force.
