Forty-five workers, or 2.3 percent of Acme Fresh Market’s staff, have been given layoff notices, effective at the end of this week.
On Thursday, Acme attorney Frank Buck confirmed that the layoffs, which he said were attributable to current business conditions, were occurring across the Akron-based chain’s 15 stores.
“The company has followed the procedures in its labor contract for adjusting its work force. The procedures involve seniority, job classifications and notice requirements,” Buck said in an interview with the Beacon Journal. “All of these employees are subject to recall and will be considered for openings as they occur.”
Buck said the 45 workers represented between 2 to 3 percent of the company’s total 2,000 part-time and full-time employees.
