Level 3 lays off undisclosed number of workers

Officials for Broomfield-based telecommunications firm Level 3 Communications Inc. (NYSE: LVLT) have confirmed a round of layoffs associated with the company’s merger with TW Telecom, but aren’t saying how many jobs were lost nor how Colorado operations were affected.

The Denver Post reports that a Level 3 spokeswoman said the company “will no longer provide employment numbers at regional locations.”

At the time of the merger last fall, officials had stated that the combined company employed about 13,600 people worldwide, including 4,000 in Colorado. Those figures included about 2,400 at Level 3’s Broomfield headquarters.

Level 3 acquired competitor TW Telecom in October for $5.7 billion.
