Hangar 24 Laying Off Staff To Remain Competitive

From RedlandsDailyFacts:

Hangar 24 Craft Brewers in Redlands has laid off five people in its production facility and is taking steps to remain competitive in a crowded market, according to its chief executive officer.

“It’s not a major restructuring, although it (stinks),” Ben Cook said in a phone interview.

Cook said the five employees were out of a total of about 140 and that they were given severance and referrals to other Inland businesses seeking employees. Remaining staff, he said, were given raises.

“We’re moving toward a strategy of fewer employees that are more skilled and making more money.”
