Prepare yourselves for more of this.
If Stryker does an across-the-board cut of its 2,250-person Kalamazoo-area workforce, about 112 local workers would lose their jobs. About 1,002 of its worldwide workforce would be cut.
“It’s unintended, but not unpredictable,” Owens said. “The layoffs next year at Stryker because of the law will affect a lot of families in the Kalamazoo area, including the families who depend on the local small businesses.”
Owens said local restaurants, delicatessens, markets, gas stations, barber shops and other small retailers will be affected by the potential loss of Stryker employees
