Schneider Electric to Cut 97 Pelco Jobs by December
CLOVIS, Calif. — Pelco by Schneider Electric will lay off 97 employees by mid-December, according to The Fresno Bee.

Volunteer layoffs have taken effect, reports KMPH.com. Workers received a 60-day notice period and a severance package for volunteering.
