The federal government requires an employer who is planning a mass layoff that the local government needs to be informed under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification ("WARN") Act.
Del Monte Foods, located at Terminal Island, a portion of which is owned by the City of Long Beach, has announced that it is laying off over 221 people between July 30 and September 26. This is a considerable amount of jobs and they reflect all levels of salary.
Long Beach is facing serious unemployment and these layoffs is one more sign that tough times are ahead for many people.
