WINDSOR LOCKS, Conn. (AP) - An aerospace unit of United Technologies Corp. is seeking to cut 90 jobs, offering a voluntary buyout to hourly workers. <\/p>\n
Dan Coulom, a spokesman for UTC Aerospace Systems, tells the Journal Inquirer (http:\/\/bit.ly\/1xgbXA5<\/a> ) that the reductions are needed to help control costs and remain competitive. <\/p>\n He says the work by affected employees will be moved to other unidentified facilities of UTC Aerospace Systems. <\/p>\n Coulom said the Windsor Locks site is still the largest single at UTC Aerospace, with about 3,700 employees, including about 900 hourly employees. <\/p>\n Thats down from 1,300 hourly workers eight years ago. <\/p>\n Coulom said the company has made substantial investments in the facility and as part of an agreement with Connecticut, he said United Technologies will invest millions more. <\/p>\n ___ <\/p>\n Information from: Journal Inquirer, http:\/\/www.journalinquirer.com<\/a> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Originally posted here: <\/p>\n United Tech aerospace unit offers buyouts to cut 90 jobs<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By - Associated Press - Thursday, March 12, 2015 WINDSOR LOCKS, Conn.
