He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- Delta did not say how many jobs it is hoping to cut through the severance offer, though AP says the company “said its goal is to achieve all necessary reductions through attrition, limited hiring and the introduction of the voluntary severance programs.
- “Delta Air Lines, the world’s biggest carrier, will offer voluntary severance payouts to a majority of the 75,000 employees at Delta and Northwest’s mainline operations as part of a plan to cut an unspecified number of jobs, executives said Friday.
- That’s from The Associated Press, which adds Delta CEO “Richard Anderson and President Ed Bastian said in a memo to employees that the program is similar to one earlier this year that Delta used to trim about 4,000 jobs.
