Got the word from Woodward today after GM was fired. All work to be moved between China and Huntsville. What a waste of a profitable shop. Product lines and equipment will be moving soon and employees will be sent packing total F---in shame.

Where did you see cementing business is gonw, it's still operating.
Transfer to where? They sold it, its gone, no more cementing business....pack up and move on already. WFT doesn't care about the equipment anymore, they sold it. Don't worry about what China does with it, find yourself a new job.
So how will this work? Equipment from china which takes forever to get here and to be rejected by quality? What will huntsville do? Do you ever feel that we are being set up for failure? At least they know to find a job instead of getting blindsided,
