Re: Immediate layoffs at ABC Company

Dear [ insert name of president of Local No. ],

It is with regret that I inform you that ABC Company will layoff a significant number of employees at the end of business today. ABC is confronting significant, serious financial issues which affect our ability to conduct various operations on a continuing basis. The company has engaged in negotiations with its principal customers and lender to seek needed financial accommodations. However this week it became apparent that the company would not be able to obtain financial accommodations sufficient to permit it to continue operations at current levels. Therefore, the employment of [insert number] employees at XYZ, a division of ABC Company, [insert address] will end effective today, [ date ].

We expect this layoff to be indefinite. ABC will follow bumping procedures in accordance with Article __ of the collective bargaining agreement with Local No. ___.

A list of the affected bargaining unit employees is attached and includes each employee’s address and job title. If you need further information, you may contact [ name ], in the company’s Human Resources Department, [ phone number ].

Sincerely,

ABC Company
by its CEO
