40 Workers to be Laid off at the Philips Lighting Bath Plant

Sources come from Philips Lighting spokeswoman Sylvie Casanova informs that there are about 40 workers will be laid off at the Philips Lighting plant in Bath,begining in mid- to late August.

Demand has dropped sharply for those type of lights, which cast a yellowish light. White lights such as LED and ceramic metal halide are now in demand.The entire high-pressure sodium product line will soon be phased out at the Bath plant.

As a result,the jobs are being cut from a section of the plant that produces high-pressure sodium products used in street lights. And most of those affected are union workers, represented by the local United Steelworkers of America.

It’s said that the Philips plant, one of the Bath area’s major employers, has 380 employees, including 310 union workers.Attempts to reach local union representatives for comment were unsuccessful.
