State notifies unions of 1,100 possible layoffs
By Associated Press
POSTED: 09:49 a.m. HST, Jul 20, 2009
The state has notified the two largest public worker unions of the possible layoff of more than 1,100 state employees covered by collective bargaining agreements.
State Human Resources Development Director Marie Laderta said the notification went out today to United Public Workers and the Hawaii Government Employees Association. Laderta said it was the first step needed to begin the notification period under reduction in force procedures.
Written notification to each employee is to take place later this month.
Gov. Linda Lingle said today that she remains hopeful the state won’t have to undertake large-scale layoffs.
She said she continues to believe furloughs or salary reductions are preferable to having some employees lose their jobs.
