Well, there have been a lot of people who have had to cut wages and still work the same hours..what about them?
When does this all end?
The company doesn’t have a layoff policy, I am guessing, because the State has one so they just pay their money and are done with it.
[Visualize your healthcare being done that way....]
Then what is the use of a company that does not layoff workers paying into unemployment? It makes little economic sense to cut workers pay in manufacturing when demand is down. It does make sense to cut hours worked because then savings in electrical costs can be realized. These people also saw there pay cut to 80% of their normal.
