By daniel | Dated: 04-20-2010
Defense contractor Lockheed Martin informed 472 employees nationwide on Tuesday that they will be getting the axe.A plant in Owego, New York absorbed 104 of these layoffs. The range of the positions were experienced across the board, from floor workers to management.
Lockheed just announced yesterday plans to develop a copter for the Navy’s revived Marine One program, forming a partner with Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation in the process.
“Should there be a future opportunity with our business where an employee notified today meets the necessary skill requirements of a future position, we would certainly encourage them to apply,” said Spokesperson Jeff Brown.
The employees will have two weeks until they leave, and will be offered the standard severance packages offered by the company.

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.
