In the one hundred and two years from 1886 to 1988 there were no layoffs in The Upjohn Company. None! It all changed in 1989 when company finances dictated that layoffs were needed. The Employee Transition Assistance (ETA) program was introduced to support these layoffs. It was a voluntary program and had a generous financial package. 612 Upjohn employees took advantage of it in 1989 and 500 more employees in 1991. The documents below describe the 1993 ETA program. These were provided by Loraine Pschigoda.
