  • Louisville Slugger, salah satu pembuat bat terkenal untuk MLB, terpaksa menutup pabriknya akibat pandemi virus corona.
  • Penangguhan kompetisi MLB 2020 juga membuat bisnis mereka tidak lagi menghasilkan uang.
  • Sekitar 171 karyawan dirumahkan, tetapi mereka tetap memiliki akses ke tunjangan perawatan kesehatan.

SKOR.id - Louisville Slugger, salah satu pembuat bat - tongkat pemukul bisbol - Liga Utama Baseball (Major League Baseball-MLB) yang paling terkenal, terpaksa menutup pabriknya.

Dari pengakuan seorang eksekutif top Louisville Slugger, perusahaan induknya merumahkan ratusan karyawan karena pandemi virus corona yang terus berlanjut hingga saat ini.

Hillerich & Bradsby sebagai pemilik lama merek Louisville Slugger menjalankan dua aspek bisnis dalam perusahaan mereka.

Yang pertama, mereka mengoperasikan sebuah museum yang mencakup peran historis dari produksi bat mereka dalam olahraga tersebut.

Bisnis keduanya adalah fasilitas pabrik yang menghasilkan ribuan bat per musim untuk tim-tim MLB.

Namun sekarang ini, tidak satu pun dari dua aspek bisnis itu yang menghasilkan uang.

Terlebih kemudian kompetisi MLB musim 2020 juga ditangguhkan tanpa batas waktu.

Alhasil museum harus tutup dan itu juga berarti pabrik juga berhenti memproduksi bat.

"Kami bahkan telah memotong semua biaya yang kami bisa,” ujar John Hillerich IV, CEO Hillerich & Bradsby, kepada Louisville Courier-Journal.

“Kami hanya berharap kami bisa kembali normal sebelum kehabisan uang tunai,” kata John Hillerich IV.

Saat ini, Louisville Slugger telah memberhentikan 171 karyawan atau sebagian besar dari tenaga kerja mereka.

Para pekerja ini masih memiliki akses tunjangan perawatan kesehatan tetapi mereka tidak akan dibayar.

Karyawan yang saat ini masih bekerja, termasuk para eksekutif top, harus rela mengalami pemotongan gaji 25 persen.

Sejauh ini, upaya Hillerich & Bradsby untuk mendapatkan bantuan dari pemerintah federal pun tidak berhasil.

Louisville Slugger adalah salah satu merek pembuat bat paling populer di kalangan pemain MLB.

Sekitar 13 persen pemain menggunakan tongkat buatan Louisville Slugger musim lalu, menurut Bat Digest, yang melakukan tinjauan pada Oktober lalu.

Merek Louisville Slugger ini telah aktif sejak akhir 1800-an.

Tak terhitung banyaknya legenda bisbol, termasuk slugger New York Yankees, Babe Ruth dan Lou Gehrig, yang diketahui menggunakan bat Louisville Slugger.
