CS Wind has laid off 51 workers.
The unionized workers received two weeks pay in lieu of two weeks notice when the layoffs were announced Friday, director of corporate affairs Jeff Heath said Monday.
“There’s a slowdown, lack of work,” Heath said. “Some of our customers postponed some of their projects.”
Heath said the company chose to secure 40 hours of work for the most senior 280 employees and lay off the workers with the least seniority.
He’s hoping the laid-off workers are called back to work by mid July. The company builds towers for wind turbines and is producing towers for projects in Michigan and Ontario.
“We anticipate this to be a short-term layoff. It’s dependent on the customer’s projects and how they react,” he said.
CS Wind has been in Windsor since 2011 and has produced more than 1,000 wind towers since opening here.
My feelings: I can truly say they did not care about the Quality as they say they do.They're notorious for laying people off. Eventually the place will shut down.
I think that Windsor needs to plan something out. And my idea is that they open more factory's and put this people to work. And for the sirens they need jobs. They need the job more then we do.
