(6-17-24) The following was sent to the Outlook today from a Crown Employee about the current IT problem.

Hello, I am an employee at Crown Equipment in Celina Ohio. As you may have heard Crown has had an IT breach. They are not handling the situation well. They have told us that we must use our vacation time or file for unemployment because they will not be paying us, and that they will not be providing us with a mass layoff #. Nobody knows what is going on or when we will return to work. Crown employees thousands of people In the Celina and newbremen area. Many of my coworkers and myself are uneasy about what we should do next. They are keeping us in the dark and nobody knows what to do.

At the request of the person who sent us the email we are not disclosing their name.​

The crown.com web site is still down.

No statements have been released from the company on the situation.
