New York (CNN Business)Lowe's is laying off thousands of workers.
Layoffs will include assemblers, who put together items like grills and
patio furniture. The company will also cut maintenance and facility-service
jobs, such as janitors. The company said it is outsourcing those positions
to third-party companies.
Lowe's (LOW) declined to say exactly how many workers will be laid off. It
said that workers whose jobs are being eliminated will be given transition
pay and have the opportunity to apply for open roles at Lowe's. The Wall
Street Journal first reported Lowe's plan.
"We are moving to third-party assemblers and facility services to allow Lowe
's store associates to spend more time on the sales floor serving customers,
" a spokesperson for Lowe's said.
Lowe's operates more than 1,700 stores in the United States. As of February
1, Lowe's employed approximately 190,000 full-time and 110,000 part-time
employees in the United States, Canada and Mexico. |
