Delta Is Trimming Down Its Workforce And Reducing Working Hours

Changes in Delta Airlines Workforce might be witnessed in the future as it has announced plans of trimming jobs and reducing working hour for current employees.

Delta Airlines recently sent out a notification to the Kentucky of its decision to trim down its workforce and make approximately 120 job cuts and even reducing the number of working hours of 185 of its employees. The air travelling company plans are going to be fully effective starting from the 1^st of May.

Delta Airlines announced this decision right after two of its flights ticket prices were increased, which indicates that the company is seeking for profit and reducing costs by cutting down its worker force. These job cuts might be made in the airports customer service department and cargo operations, thus most affected employees from this move will be the ones in the customer service section of the company.

The Air Travelling Company is going to make efforts to compensate for the loss the fired employees will be facing by getting those workers transfers to other companies, or even take voluntary retirement and severance. It sent out a letter informing its workers of its plans for them and said that the customer service department had more than required workers, thus restructuring has to be done. The letter said that the business is making this decision in order to lower the costs of shipping as the cargo industry is facing a tough time.

The workers that are eligible will be given a transfer in, maybe in the same department of the company, in a different location.  25 employees will be removed who are currently working as customer service agents and 95 workers are going to be removed, who are working in the Ready Reserve department of the organization. The reduction in working hours is going take place in the same department of customer service for the workers who will still be working in the area, the number will be 185. Employees can get in touch with the company’s HR manager if they wish to for further details.

The air carrier recently lost its number one spot in Dayton International Airport after American and US Airways merge. The company is trying its best to not let its workers get affected from this recent move badly and is making efforts to take the best care of them as possible by offering them retirements and transfers so that they are not left without jobs after the job cuts, which is not what most companies give much importance to. Hence for other workers of the company, this can be provide security that as long as they are working at Delta, they will not be left jobless even if the organization makes job cut decisions.
