Publication

Credit unions continue to evolve to meet member needs and economic pressures in an ever-changing and competitive environment. Mergers and consolidations, new technologies, shifting member needs and budget issues often require a consolidation of positions or restructure of the workforce resulting in the termination of employees who are otherwise good performers.

In their article for Credit Union Times, Rosemary Gousman, co-chair of Fisher Phillips’ Financial Services Industry Team, and Hagood Tighe, co-chair of Fisher Phillips’ Wage and Hour practice, outline several key steps that should be considered by credit unions if a consolidation or restructure will result in job losses.
