NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (WAVY) — Newport News Shipbuilding President Jennifer Boykin announced Friday that 314 salaried shipbuilders have been laid off and 119 managers have been demoted.
Boykin posted to Facebook:
“Today is a tough day as we say goodbye to 314 fellow shipbuilders as part of a layoff impacting our salaried workforce. This is the first workforce reduction we’ve experienced in five years and comes after a thorough assessment of our business.
“This decision, along with the demotion of an additional 119 managers, more evenly distributes management spans and reshapes production and support ratios.”
The shipyard says they have notified all impacted employees.
Just the beginning of a lovely 4 years. Gas prices around the island 2.65 to 2.69 and the season is still 2 months away. Oil.closed at 61 a barrel for next month.
Damn.
Hopefully they fired all the Biden supporters first.
