LL Bean to slash jobs

http://www.laborradio.org/node/10991

LL Bean is the most recent company to be hit by the recession. The outdoors outfitter based out of Maine announced on Friday it would be letting go of 200 to 240 workers in it’s home state. The company had offered voluntary retirement incentives in February, but according to a letter from CEO Chris McCormick it wasn’t enough to complete eliminate the need for layoffs. The company plans to start notifying workers who will be laid off as early as today. The company currently has a wage freeze in place. Maine won’t be immune to layoffs. LL Bean expects it will be necessary to make additional cuts at stores in other states
