Sadly, one of my favorite companies had bitten the big one. Burley, who for 28 years had been run as a worker-owned coop, converted to a private corporation in June, and the workers were issued stock certificates.
Friday, they learned that the company had been sold and all 104 of them were laid off.
Some of them will be rehired as Burley is refocused on producing child trailers, but Burley's very cool tandem, road, and commuter bike lines will be gone.
Read the obituary.
