CONCORD - Gov. John Lynch today said the state will do all it can to assist the 131 workers at Precision Technology who lost their jobs today when the Pembroke company abruptly closed.

State Labor Commissioner George Copadis arrived at the company this morning immediately after it was learned the company had suddenly closed and locked the workers out of the facility. The Department of Labor is working to determine if the company has violated the federal WARN Act by failing to provide the workers notification of the closing.

The state’s Rapid Response team will hold sessions tomorrow to assist the workers.

“I know this will be extremely difficult for the workers and their families. New Hampshire state government is committed to helping them through this difficult time,” Gov. Lynch said. “Our state Rapid Response team and officials from the Department of Labor were at Precision Technology this morning and have begun assisting the workers, and that assistance will continue.”

The state’s Rapid Response team will hold three sessions tomorrow at the Concord Employment Security office located at 10 West St. The sessions will be held at 9 a.m., 10 a.m. and 11 a.m.

These sessions will assist the workers in applying for unemployment benefits and help determine their needs in re-entering the workforce. Assistance can include resume writing and job counseling, to retraining. The Rapid Response team includes representatives of the state departments of Employment Security, Labor, Resources and Economic Development, Health and Human Services, the New Hampshire Community College System and NHWorks.
