Layoffs, furloughs announced for Puyallup tribal government workers after casino shutdown

After an announcement earlier in the week of furloughs and layoffs involving its Emerald Queen Casino staff as a result of the coronavirus shutdown, more bad news arrived Friday from the Puyallup Tribe.

In a Friday news release, the tribe announced furloughs, layoffs and hour reductions were coming to members of its tribal government.

“With both Emerald Queen Casino locations temporarily closed amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Puyallup Tribe’s governing council has decided on a range of actions to conserve the tribe’s resources and ensure vital services are provided to the community,” according to the announcement.

“The decisions include furloughs, layoffs and hour reductions for tribal government’s workforce of over 600 people.”
