Reduction in Workforce

On January 31, 2019, the Partnership announced its profit improvement initiative as part of its ongoing organizational review. This profit improvement initiative was intended to further integrate, streamline and optimize the Partnership’s operations.

As part of this profit improvement initiative, in July 2019, the Partnership undertook a cost reduction initiative, which resulted in a reduction of 171 positions in its workforce, primarily related to its field operations. The Partnership expects to incur charges of $0.8 million for employee separation and other benefit-related costs in connection with this reduction in the third quarter of 2019. Under this profit improvement initiative, separation costs are expensed over the requisite service period, if any.
