Raytheon Workers Fall Victim To Outsourcing

Pink Slips On The Way To About 300 In Wire Harness Division

Here they come... the layoffs predicted when Raytheon moved its wire harness division from Wichita (KS) to Mexico. The Wichita Eagle reports about 75 workers will get pink slips next month.

The company says it's given notice to the workers that their last day on the job will be November 19th. Spokesman Tim Travis told the Eagle that the company is trying to ease the pain by opening up a sheet metal training class. He said the company hopes some of the workers will cross over to become sheet metal mechanics.

The 75 who will lose their jobs next month are the first wave of as many as 300 workers who'll get notices by the middle of next year, Travis said.
