Plans Released to Lay Off 792 State WorkersRelated Content
DES MOINES (AP) - The State of Iowa has released preliminary plans to lay off 792 state employees.
According to a media release issued by the state Monday, layoffs have been proposed by 15 of the 36 state agencies as part of plans to implement the ten percent across-the-board cut in spending ordered by Governor Chet Culver. The layoff plans will be processed, but not implemented, to allow time for ongoing negotiations with the three unions representing state employees. If negotiations succeed, the rules governing the layoff of contract employees will change and employees in positions identified for layoffs under the plans being made public may or may not lose their jobs. If the negotiations don't succeed, the layoffs will proceed immediately upon Culver's order. More Good Stuff |
