Aramark Facility Services is laying off 208 people at two facilities in Orlando, effective Jan. 6.

The operation is part of Philadelphia-based Aramark Corp., which provides food services, facilities management, uniforms and work apparel to health-care institutions, sports venues, businesses and schools.

The company filed a layoff notice with the state this week, saying that Aramark Services Limited Partnership had been informed in early November that it "would not be retained to provide transportation services at AVL-Orlando and Hertz-Orlando."

The company's Web site said that, as part of its transportation services, it provides other companies with support in such areas as logistics, equipment upkeep, shuttle systems and facility maintenance.

The employees affected by the layoffs were not represented by a union and do not have the opportunity to bump less-senior workers in other areas of the company, Aramark said in its notice to the state.

Company officials were not available for comment Friday.
