Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Verizon Wireless has submitted a letter to the state Department of Labor, outlining its plan to layoff more than 500 workers in its Wallingford

and Meriden locations.

According to the WARN Act notice posted Wednesday, the two locations will close and 499 workers will be laid off in Wallingford and 59 in Meriden.

The layoffs are expected to occur within 14 days of March 25, 2017, according to the WARN letter submitted by Carolyn R. Driscoll, director of human resources at Verizon.

"Verizon Wireless is consolidating and restructuring its operations to maximize the utilization of company facilities and resources," Driscoll said.

The Wallingford location is at 20 Alexander Drive. The Meriden facility is at 599 Research Parkway.

A company spokesperson could not immediately be reached for comment.

I'm sorry the company has taken the stance that they have in so many areas, it's sort of like the country.

Our only hope is change before we lose our country along with our jobs. Vote Trump even if you are a Democrat before you lose the right to vote at all!
