Ilitch Holdings, Inc., is going through the process of furloughing and eliminating positions on the business operations sides of the Detroit Tigers, Detroit Red Wings and its other entertainment venues, according to an email sent to employees and obtained by the Free Press on Wednesday.
The cost-cutting measures are a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The company is notifying employees on Wednesday, according to the email from Chris Granger, Ilitch Holdings' Group President of Sports and Entertainment. The total number of furloughs and layoffs to employees wasn't immediately clear.
Furloughed employees will still receive benefits.
