I’ll take a pay cut when Vic Abate isn’t allowed to throw a $50k Christmas party. Flannery is a bigger joke than his management team...
Can't wait for the contract negotiations.
Pay cuts coming.
130 now then after the National V Rip another 150. It’s a zoo working for GE Power In Schenectady. To bad they didn’t offer a cash buy out I’m sure many would jump ship anyway
This As all unfortunate but true I am a union mem in schdy
This hit the layoff.com a day before anyone else reported - so much for journalism today
Exec Statement:
“As announced last month, based on the current challenges in the power industry and a significant decline in orders we plan to reduce our global headcount, affecting both professional and production employees. As part of these actions, we are restructuring our production capacity in Schenectady, NY. This action is difficult and does not reflect the performance, dedication, and hard work of our employees. GE will be providing a comprehensive severance package to impacted employees including transition support to new employment.”
By jobs code, then by seniority.
That article is saying that maintenance staff and material handlers were effected, did they go by classification or seniority?

Are some of the current layoffs at GRC?
At least getting the cash payout. Didn't want to quit but now somewhat relieved getting layoff benefits.
Company wanted 300 layoffs but settled for 130....for now. How can remaining with next in lowest seniority line feel safe?
I’m guessing that 12k cut is coming into effect
Greenville could have more. There’s no union to protect us. I feel that tlow will be called off here as well. Then the ax will swing.
130 hourly read the description
This is only the beginning, union still in talks with company.
How many hourly employees are in Schenectady?
Salary or hourly?
Greenville has around the same amount on TLOW intill February, Might hit Greenville soon? We’re not unionized though which probably helps
Very legit.
Correct, just got word at R&D.
Yes 100% legit from union
is this legit?
