Duke Realty announces layoffs amid acquisition

Indianapolis-based Duke Realty Corp. (NYSE: DRE) has notified the state of its plans to lay off 120 employees. The move comes as the logistics real estate firm is set to be acquired by San Francisco-based Prologis Inc. (NYSE: PLD) in a $26 billion deal announced in June.

The acquisition is slated to close on October 3, pending shareholder approval. Duke says the layoffs will begin on that date and continue through the new year.

However, the layoffs are likely to continue. Our partners at the Indianapolis Business Journal report nearly 300 Duke employees are expected to be laid off with about 40 joining Prologis.

Duke CEO Jim Connor said the affected employees will receive severance packages from Prologis.

Duke officials are also working to help the affected employees find new jobs as well.

We must not fund our own destruction

If the headline sounds ominous, that’s by design. This is not hyperbole. The United States is funding numerous Chinese companies—many with ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Chinese military. This is the very country which, by all accounts, is posing the most serious threat to our national security in our lifetime....
