Awrey Bakeries gives notice of possible layoffs, shutdown
Awrey Bakeries, Livonia, Mich., gave written notice late November that it may lay off about 150 workers—and possibly shut down—unless it finds a buyer or investor.
By federal law, Awrey’s must give workers or their union representatives at least 60 days’ notice. Workers said that their union, United Distributive Workers, Council 30, had warned them before the notice was issued that layoffs and a shutdown were a possibility.
