Retrospective
Palliser Furniture laid off approximately 40 workers in early 2026 due to staffing reorganization and the impact of Trump-era tariffs. At the same time, the company hired about 20 workers for other manufacturing roles at its Winnipeg plant. The layoffs mainly affected employees doing wood frame building, foam cutting, and assembly, while new hires focus on cutting and sewing material, previously done in Mexico.
