Saks cosmetics staff face cuts at flagship
Saks Fifth Avenue this week told more than 100 workers at the Midtown flagship store they will lose their jobs after the holidays.
Sources told The Post that the iconic luxury store on Fifth Avenue informed about 116 sales associates and beauticians in the cosmetics and fragrance department — which by several measures is the largest in the nation — that their jobs would be eliminated by the end of January.
Union officials yesterday said the news comes two weeks after the union filed a petition to organize the cosmetics and fragrance staff following two previous, unsuccessful attempts.
