Swartz, Timberland's President and Chief Executive Officer, said "This has been a difficult decision for us, and we are committed to assisting the 316 Isabela-based employees during this transition period. We intend to provide affected employees with a comprehensive program that includes financial assistance, vocational planning, search assistance, training and counseling and will coordinate with local agencies to offer additional government services."
