Denver-based Digital First Media is laying off 107 workers
at a Colorado Springs
call center starting in late December and going into January and February of
2019, the Denver Post and others reported.
Most of the workers are in accounting or
finance, according to a notice the company filed with the Colorado Department
of Labor and Employment.
The work is going to GenPact, a global
professional services firm that employs more than 80,000 worldwide.
Digital First is owned by New York-based hedge
fund Alden Global Capital.
The laid-off employees will be eligible for
income support from the U.S. Labor Department under a government program for
workers laid off because of imports or work moved to a foreign country, the
Colorado Springs Gazette reported.
The Labor Department said that the Digital
First workers qualify as the company “has acquired from a foreign country
service like or directly competitive with services supplied by the workers.”
