Earnings
What do you expect, we are reporting tomorrow.
Sooner than later
GE reports earnings tomorrow, looking pretty bad right now. This may be the next catalyst for sending more people out the door. After all, the CEO and BOD need their quarterly bonus.

GE will get rid of the union
The easiest way to get rid of the union would be shut Schenectady down. Work is slow. It don't make sense to have multiple gas turbine plants. It will all be consolidated in Greenville, SC
