Arizona-based RoadLink Warehouse Solutions will permanently layoff 104 workers June 7 at a grocery warehouse in Lancaster County.

The RoadLink workers are part of the company's unloading service at a warehouse operated by SuperValu Inc. and its Acme grocery chain, according to a notice RoadLink filed May 9 with the state Department of Labor and Industry.

The letter from the company said SuperValu had contracted with a different unloading service at the warehouse on Muddy Creek Road, East Cocalico Township. Three managers will also be affected by the change, but RoadLink did not specify whether they would be laid off or moved to other jobs.

RoadLink did not return calls seeking clarification.

Minneapolis-based SuperValu also did not return calls. It is unknown with which service it contracted at the distribution center.
