Pax, Webster, and Indian Head to Lose 20% of Workforce

http://www.thebaynet.com/news/index....&story_ID=2141

The new cuts are set to be large ones – a 20 percent decrease in the workforce has been ordered by Secretary of the Navy for Patuxent River, St. Inigoes, and Indian Head.

That’s a huge reduction – and it’s a cut that will be a reduction in workforce rather than machinery.

It will likely mean a loss of 3,000 to 4,000 jobs for Southern Maryland. Contractors may have to reduce by 25 percent and there may be some civilian positions becoming available.It may even mean a 25 percent cut with five percent being hired back in Civil Service, one insider told The Bay Net. Also, there’s the possibility that those who retain their jobs will be obliged to accept pay-cuts.


Anyone attend this meeting??

It's the first year Steny has admitted he can't do anything about it. That alone concerns me.
