Thread regarding L3 Technologies layoffs

L3 is is making cuts at St Petersburg

According to this article, 67 jobs will be cut at St. Petersburg. The company filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification to the state this week. The company stated that the jobs are being cut from late of December until May 2019. It looks like that this not an isolated situation and that neither of us can feel safe, as the company faces more possible reorgs that will come with the Harris merge.

Read the article, they are talking about the Security and Detection Division in St. Petersburg, not the old Aviation Products in Sarasota. Two different entities.

Everyone

This was in the works well prior to the deal being announced. All the work at Sarasota is being transferred to Grand Rapids. The employees knew this was coming. Nothing nefarious here.

Don't settle for a few weeks pay. Ask for a $50,000 lump sum payment or threaten a lawsuit. All the C-Level executives do it. https://www.cersnow.com/blog/the-average-employee-lawsuit-costs-250000how-safe-is-your-company/

Well, all you L3 sufferers in St Petersburg, know this:

  1. You'll get like 2 weeks of severance pay plus your unused PTO paid out as a baseline.

  2. Your health insurance will end IMMEDIATELY.

  3. They'll work to shut you up with payoff money that depends on how long you've worked there. Short-timers will get like 2 weeks. People with 8 years might get a couple of months. That's in exchange for dropping any grievances you have, including age discrimination and the like, You'll forgo your ability to tell the world what a lousy company L3 is.

You should go ahead and find out what your options are, so as to be ready for it.
