The Department of Corrections will lay off 37 people and reassign another 21, Corrections spokesman Jeff Lyons said yesterday. "We'll continue to run most safe and secure facility we can within the resources we have," Lyons said. The state is still notifying the 250 state employees who will lose their jobs, and the 60 who will be demoted, after members of the State Employees' Association rejected a tentative contract. The governor's office has declined to release numbers by department until all employees are notified. But the union has been compiling information, and Lyons confirmed the Corrections numbers after layoff notices went out yesterday. Lyons said 14 of the laid-off employees are corrections officers and 23 are civilian staff, which includes clerical support staff, teachers, people in medical jobs, and administrators in the probation and parole department. The employees came from all corrections institutions, including the men's prisons in Concord and Berlin, the women's prison in Goffstown and people from probation and parole services. Another 21 people will be demoted or transferred into vacant positions. The layoffs will go into effect Oct. 29. Read More. |
