Central Alabama Waters sudden layoff of 135 workers, reducing its workforce by 23%, has led to protests and accusations of racial bias. The utility, now a regional entity due to a state law, aims to secure long-term financial stability through a major reorganization. However, former employees and supporters argue that the new board has been mistreating Black employees, who make up most of the staff, while senior management remains mostly white. The layoffs have sparked lawsuits, a credit rating downgrade, and unionization efforts.
