GE Healthcare Sacks 179 at Wisconsin Plant

GE Healthcare has announced that 179 employees will be permanently laid off from its Milwaukee, Wisconsin plant beginning June 9th.

GE intends to outsource its circuit board production operations, as part of a plan announced in December. The medical imaging & diagnostics systems company blamed the firings on the weak health care market.

Layoffs from the plant will continue through the end of the year.

GE Healthcare is a unit of GE Technology Infrastructure, a unit of General Electric. It employs more than 46,000 people worldwide, and is headquartered in Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom.

Testimonial of the Week

What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.
