PAETEC to Lay Off 71 Workers
The Palm Harbor call center will consolidate 71 positions after its acquisition of Cavalier Telephone.
Beginning next month, telecommunications provider PAETEC will lay off 71 workers at the company's Palm Harbor location, according to a notice filed by the company with the state.
A company spokesperson says the move is a result of restructuring after PAETEC's 2010 purchase of Cavalier Telephone.
Seventy-one positions at the company's call center in Palm Harbor will be consolidated with other call centers.
