LAYOFF NOTICES HANDED OUT TO NJN WORKERS

All 130 state workers at New Jersey Network received layoff notices. NJN is in the process of being privatized, but if that process is not complete by Jan. 1, the station could be forced to shut down. Some private investors have shown some interest, but no clear planned has been put together. Network and union officials are both unsure in comments as to the future of the station.
