I see several posts saying Wilmington is closing, is this a temporary closure? What all do you know?
Wilmington #1 go kick rocks you stanky yankee.
That's old news you don't have the access to this information yet. I am here just trying to help.
Word from the cartel is GE will be investing more at the Mex-e-co facility than any other.
Wilmington is #1 and always will be. Don't be mad your union jobs will be going south.

I just saw the list. There are 5 sites in the US getting the investment. Wilmington isn't one of them
Keep spewing your propoganda. Believe what you want
Look again. Wilmington got over $70 million for investment. $22 million in new machines. The other was used to split Aerospace and Nuclear up as we sit on the same site. Nice try. Kiss those union jobs goodbye.
I didn't see Wilmington in the list of sites getting funding for investment. What do you think that means?
Correct not at Wilmington. Higher up
All U.S. manufacturing will eventually be sourced elsewhere. If it can be done cheaper, it will be done cheaper.
Well you weren't in Wilmington at the meeting. GE is actually talking about building on the Wilmington site and bringing military work down from Hooksett. 13% of their work is coming here.
believe what you want. I just got out of a meeting talking about it. It's happening
Yes Wilmington is closing. Heard this today from salary
Wilmington is closing. The notification should be coming out soon.
Glad GE ain't me anymore! Put your feelers out people. Wake up and smell the roses.
Kiss Wilmington goodbye. Especially if we get a certain business leader that gets the plant leader job. He will destroy that place anyways. He hasn't been there long and has destroyed 2 lines so far.
Wilmington plant is gone. It's just a matter of time. Closed loop machining will only require button pushers in Mexico. 1 Mexican worker replaces 10 American workers. You can thank Bill Clinton and NAFTA for that. GE built a plant in Mexico with a fake name to bypass the government and all of a sudden purchase the plant this year without it ever making the media. Better have a plan in place.
The market is going to crash soon. Get prepared for the worst. This false bubble is about to blow.
