Automation kicking 50+ John Glenn airport employees out of jobs

Automation will kick more than 50 John Glenn Columbus International Airport parking lot cashiers out of their jobs this fall.

The Dispatch reports 24 full-time and 31 part-time workers will be laid off on November 15.

All of the airport parking lots will still have human supervisors, they just won’t be cashiers.

Laid-off workers will have a chance to apply for a supervisor position but must complete the hiring process like any other applicant.
