“We are concerned that these regulations, if not overturned, would force Our Sunday Visitor to provide such coverage even when the Catholic Church has consistently taught that they are wrong and a violation of Church teaching."Statement issued Thursday:
From 2006 to the present, Zimmer has invested substantially to expand our employee base. Global employee growth over this time period is 21%, with growth in Warsaw also at 21%.Zimmer has recently taken steps that further position the company for long-term, sustainable growth.
We have initiated modest changes in our work force, which include the elimination of positions in some areas and increases in others to balance requirements necessary to support strategic priorities.
Less than 5% of the global workforce is affected by the realignment; that is true for the Warsaw site, where just over 100 of our total employment of more than 2,800 are affected.
With future hiring we expect to maintain or even increase the net number of employees both in Warsaw and globally in 2009.
