U.S. Cellular will lay off 95 workers in Virginia in June, according to a post on the Virginia Department of Workforce Development’s website Friday.
The Chicago-based U.S. Cellular‘s wireless operations will be sold to T-Mobile for $4.4 billion, the companies announced in May 2024, and U.S. Cellular plans to lay off 4,100 employees nationally, according to a letter from an HR director at the company.
There may be a light at the end of the tunnel for those workers, however. In the March 26-dated letter, Izik Youker writes that U.S. Cellular “has made arrangements with T-Mobile to offer employment to a majority of these employees at a salary or wage rate with benefits that when taken as a whole are no less favorable.”
The employees will be let go on June 2 or within the two following weeks, the letter specifies.
Employees at retail stores in Christiansburg, Farmville, Galax, Lynchburg, Martinsville, Roanoke, Rocky Mount, Salem and Wytheville will be impacted along with some remote employees, according to the letter.
The acquisition will allow T-Mobile to expand services to underserved rural areas, the company said last year.
