On Wednesday, October 18, we had a meeting with Filson's representatives to discuss their recent announcement of a workforce reduction.
During the meeting, the Employer presented their rationale for the decision to outsource manufacturing to a third party. They also shared their initial proposal, which included severance pay and some amendments to the current collective bargaining agreement.
In response, we requested additional information and are continuing discussions regarding severence and healthcare coverage options for those affected by the layoffs.
Our next meeting with the company is scheduled for Thursday, October 26. We will continue to keep you updated throughout this process. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to your union representative, Jose Veliz at 360-409-0615.
