Leaders of the union representing former workers at Lawrence’s Farmland nitrogen fertilizer plant will be meeting with company officials on Monday to begin negotiations over a possible severance package for the former employees.

Jesse Miller, international representative with the Paper, Allied-Industrial, Chemical & Energy Workers International Union, said he was meeting with company officials to request a severance package for about 100 workers who lost their jobs when the plant stopped production more than a year ago.

Miller said those employees never received a severance package because technically they were laid off rather than released.
