Senator Baldwin Criticizes Shopko

Tuesday, July 16th, 2019 -- 12:13 PM

(WRN) -U-S Senator Tammy Baldwin says former Shopko employees received little or no severance pay when the company went bankrupt this year.

Former employees say they were promised back pay if they stayed with the company until the end. But Baldwin says Sun Capital, a private equity firm, took Shopko and its employees for granted

The Wisconsin Democrat met with former Shopko employees over the weekend. Shopko filed for bankruptcy in January, closing all of its stores, and laying off three-thousand employees in Wisconsin.
