Motorola Layoffs Reported at 82nd Street Plant
A Progress report notes extensive layoffs at Motorola's semiconductor plant at 82nd Street and McDowell. A female worker says night shift cuts left only skeleton crews, with five of 43 remaining in her department and multiple departments similarly reduced. She was told of release dates January 20 and 25 and predicts another layoff Friday. Motorola officials declined comment. She also cites unemployment eligibility rules conflicting with caring for five children. Henry Haas explains benefits require full labor market participation and earnings in two calendar year quarters to qualify.
