Trump Doral announces 250 furloughs will now become permanent layoffs
This is a developing story.
Trump National Doral Miami, President Donald J. Trump’s Miami-Dade resort hotel and golf course, has announced 250 workers who were originally furloughed indefinitely will now be permanently laid off.
In a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act notice dated May 15 and posted to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity’s website Thursday, the resort said that it had envisioned stay-at-home orders expiring “after a short period.”
But extended orders and closures, it said, have caused the business to “reassess [its] initial understanding of the circumstances facing the resort.”
“Unfortunately, it now appears that the adverse effects of the COVID-19 outbreak upon our business will be longer and more substantial than previously was foreseeable,” the notice states.
As a result, its 250 indefinite furloughs will become “permanent employee separations” effective May 15. Approximately 250 employees including part-time employees will be affected.
