Central Alabama Water Layoffs: Board Member Demands Answers

0:00In Birmingham, it's March 13th, and here's what is going on. Central Alabama water laid off dozens of workers this morning across departments like the Meater Shop, Distribution, and Downtown Offices. Employees were told their jobs end immediately during meetings. Some of those affected were just three months from retirement, they are getting eight weeks of pay a severance. The utility has not responded to calls for common. Board member Sheila Tyson confirmed the cuts and called them a shame. She questioned how firing workers say money when lawyers now charge 52% more than before. Rumors of mass reductions has spread for weeks at the 600 worker utility. Tyson has classed with new leaders before. She plans to demand details on the exact number laid off and any replacement jobs. Officials say this story is still developing.
