Acme Supermarkets Reducing Full-Time Jobs
February 13, 2017 | 1 min to read
The Acme supermarket chain saved hundreds of grocery jobs in North Jersey when it bought 10 stores from the bankrupt A&P in September 2015. Now, Acme is looking to shed some of those jobs to tighten up staffing levels at some stores.
The company wants to convert about 100 full-time positions to part-time jobs, but also is offering voluntary severance packages as a way to reduce the number of jobs affected.
Acme communications and government relations manager Danielle D’Elia confirmed the staffing reduction plan Monday and said Acme had decided that “in northern New Jersey, our stores are overstaffed [by] approximately 100 full-time employees.” Acme, she said, is “looking to reduce these employees from full-time to part-time status while maintaining their full-time benefits.”
