NATIONAL WIDGET COMPANY REHIRES LAID OFF EMPLOYEES

The National Widget Company has announced a re-hire of all laid-off employees. 200 employees were laid off in June of last year. 50 of these employees will be back to work at the head office and main plant here in Victoria.

“We have sent recall notices to all employees who were laid off in June,” says Andy Bryce, President and great-grandson of NWC’s founder, “As a family-owned company, it was heartbreaking to lay off so many loyal people so we are thrilled to be offering employment to people we consider family.”

NWC’s plant in Victoria will be operating at full capacity within 6 weeks due to the sales of widgets steadily increasing.

“The increase in sales has been unprecedented,” says Bryce, “we think this opportunity opens up enormous markets which will last for years.”

NWC has officially geared away from the traditional widget market of oil in the Middle East to invest with a newly found residential widget market in China.

NWC is the oldest family run business in Canada, and the first widget company to ever approach, and make a deal with China.

This new deal with China will allow for NWC to confidently rehire and grow as a company. The Chinese residential market will offer new opportunity for NWC, and a secure place for all re-hired employees.
