Layoff of 40 in Luzerne County inevitable

Due to a vote by the Luzerne/Schuylkill Workforce Investment Board to outsource to outside companies, the county will now face layoffs for those employees currently in charge of the job placement and training programs for the unemployed and underprivileged youth in Luzerne and Schuylkill. The commissioners from the counties in northeastern Pennsylvania wanted to prevent this, but accepted Wednesday that they do not have the power to put a stop to the outsourcing. The Luzerne County Solicitor Vito DeLuca said Wednesday that the commissioners have no authority to intervene in the board’s decision. The outsourcing is to take effect July 1, according to the Times Leader.

Testimonial of the Week

What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.
