Layoffs at The Pantagraph

It was announced yesterday that 8 Pantagraph employees were laid off.  These cuts have affected workers in several departments.   Without a union contract, everyone is an at-will employee.   An employee can be fired for no reason at all, so long as there is not an illegal reason.  Targeting employees because of age, gender or union affiliation would be examples of terminations that would be inappropriate and would provide an opportunity to challenge the company’s decision. 

If you have been impacted by the layoffs, or have questions, please contact the Guild office at 314-241-7046 or call Cathy at 309-531-9867.
