"Call center employees working for Maximus, a federal subcontractor, in Louisiana and Mississippi launched a protest this week after a sudden round of mass layoffs left over 100 workers without jobs earlier this month. The company, which employs over 10,000 workers across nine states, released a statement following the layoffs in Hattiesburg that it was 'releasing 143 out of 930 employees currently employed. Staff being released were selected based on their tenure and schedule.'"
