NWC Announces Re-hiring across Canada

VICTORIA: The National Widget company, the oldest widget manufacturer in Canada, is re-hiring of all laid off employees, including 50 employees at the main plant in Victoria.

New markets in China and the incorporation of widgets into residential construction have led to a steady increase in widget sales. The National Widget Company is the first company in the world to approach and make a deal with the Chinese. This represents a new opportunity for the National Widget Company and allows them to rehire employees laid off in a restructuring six months ago.

“As a family-owned company, it was heartbreaking to lay off so many loyal people so we are thrilled to be offering employment to people we consider part of the family.” Said National Widget Company President Andrew Bryce.

The re-hiring goes into effect today. Employees will be called in as needed over the coming weeks until the plant is operating at full capacity. Those rehired include workers from the head office and main plant in Victoria.
