Lululemon's New York Workforce Takes Another Hit with Second Round of Layoffs
Athletic apparel brand Lululemon is laying off 119 staff in its New York office. The layoffs will occur thanks to a new partnership between Lululemon and Peloton. The business also laid off 100 staff earlier this year.
Under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, an employer with more than 100 full-time workers must provide a 60-day notice before laying off 50 or more people at a single site. Lululemon has filed with the New York Department of Labor advising of layoffs.
The filing states that 119 employees located in New York will be laid off across two dates- December 27 and January 24.
“As we considered the Peloton partnership, the most difficult decision was the direct impact the evolution will have on approximately 120 of our people who support lululemon Studio today. True to our company values, we will support those impacted through the transition. We deeply appreciate their contributions and recognize how difficult this announcement is for the team.” ” a company spokesperson
It is the latest layoff notice to hit New York in the past few weeks.
