Story summary

Capstone, a California delivery contractor, is closing its operation in South Gate, putting 106 workers out of jobs. According to state filings, Capstone gave notice only 59 calendar days before the scheduled final day on November 21, falling just short of the required 60-day notice under California’s WARN Act. The positions being axed include 94 Delivery Associates, six Helpers, and six Managers. While the exact date employees received the notice is unclear, Capstone classified this as a permanent closure rather than a relocation. The company has been operating in South Gate since around 2017 or 2020 (the article is ambiguous), providing delivery services likely under contract with companies like Amazon.
