Show Notes
Central Alabama Water, the largest water utility in Alabama, announced significant layoffs and cost-cutting measures to avoid a rate hike. The company eliminated 130 jobs, representing a quarter of its workforce, and closed the payment center and Cahaba Museum and Conference Center. The reorganization is expected to save $21.1 million annually in labor costs. The layoffs were met with protests from affected employees, politicians, and union heads. The companys CEO, Jeffrey Thompson, defended the move as necessary to address past financial issues and new regulations. The museum closure is temporary, and the company plans to contact those affected by the changes.
