Boston, Massachusetts-based Massachusetts Port Authority, the port authority owner-operator of various public infrastructure including airports—Logan International Airport, Hanscom Field, Worcester Regional Airport, and public terminals in the Port of Boston, has announced the layoff off 200 employees
The decision was driven to reduce headcount to compensate for historically lower passenger activity at Logan International.
According to a spokesperson, "Approximately a third of the targeted cuts have come through a voluntary buyout program. that offered a $20,000 one-time lump sum payment to eligible union employees if they retired by January 1, 2021 and a similar offer of $20,000 payment to administrative employees who chose to leave by early January, 2021. The remainder 200 people would be involuntarily laid off.These cuts are impacting all departments and are painful decisions. We are thankful for the work of our dedicated staff.
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
