Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry to help laid off Rite Aid employees

(WHTM) — Pennsylvania is working to help the hundreds of employees laid off after Rite Aid announced bankruptcy.

The Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry hosts a virtual rapid response meeting for laid-off workers. The session will provide information on career services, guidance on unemployment compensation, and health care enrollment.

“Suddenly losing employment and having to determine your next move can feel overwhelming and intimidating. But L&I is here to help during this challenging time,” said L&I Secretary Nancy A. Walker. “Our Rapid Response team is working to ensure those impacted by Rite Aid’s layoffs have access to the resources and support they need to help them transition to meaningful employment opportunities that offer family-sustaining wages.”

The meeting is set to take place on Wednesday, May 14, from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.

The Pennsylvania L&I says that future meetings are currently being organized. For now, workers can reach out to their local PA CareerLink.

Pennsylvanians affected by the Rite Aid layoffs can register for the meeting on the Department of Labor and Industry website.
