Lauren to Re-Call Layed-Off Employees
by Don Blackwell on Jun.17, 2009, under General News
As you probably know, on June 1st, Lauren layed off an additional 11 Union employees, including 5 voluntary lay-offs. However, by the end of last week, they had already recalled two of those through at least the end of June.
This morning, HR officially notified the Union that they would be recalling an additional 15 employees for two weeks, possibly longer if sales improve. Additional positions have been or will be added on each shift to accommodate the recall, which will amount to roughly 5 people per shift. However, two of the added positions will be re-filled with employees who were recently (within the last 180-days) bumped. The recalled employees will fill all vacant positions for two weeks. The company will notify the Union if the recalls will last longer and the positions will be posted for bid as required by the CBA.
Feel free to contact myself, another officer or any shop steward if you have any questions. If we don’t have an answer, we’ll get one for you.
