Delaware North, the Buffalo, New York-based company that staffs food and beverage services at arenas all over the globe, including locally, has temporarily laid off thousands of full-time workers and told thousands more part-time workers that it will not be able to offer financial assistance during the coronavirus shutdown.
Officials for Delaware North huddled last week to discuss the options, and announced its decision Wednesday. It said it is temporarily laying off 3,100 full-time employees, with those employees receiving their benefits for eight weeks, as well as one full week of pay. Full-time employees staying on are doing so at a reduced pay rate. And there's nothing available for the part-time employees.
Delaware North also has employees locally at Hockeytown Cafe and Detroit Metro Airport.
Delaware North has more than 55,000 full- and part-time employees across the globe, with its Sportservice wing serving 50 ballparks, stadiums and arenas.
Delaware North is owned by Jeremy Jacobs, who also owns the NHL's Boston Bruins and TD Garden, home of the Bruins and the NBA's Boston Celtics. Last week, Jacobs announced a fund to continue paying part-time employees at TD Garden ? the last owner in the NHL to announce such steps. Then, days later, it was revealed that part-time Bruins workers at TD Garden were told they were being laid off.
Jacobs is worth more than $3 billion, according to the latest estimates. Delaware North claims more than $3 billion in revenue, annually.
Jacobs' three sons, Jerry, Lou and Charlie, are CEOs of Delaware North, and in 2019 were handed the responsibilities of running the Bruins.
Jeremy Jacobs has always been a cheap cocksucker.
