Sikorsky Plans To Lay Off Hundreds In Connecticut: Report
STRATFORD, CT — Stratford-based Sikorsky is planning on laying off as many as 400 employees in Connecticut, according to the Connecticut Post.
The Post reports that the planned cuts would affect about 350 jobs in Stratford and another 50 elsewhere in Connecticut.
WTNH News 8 reported the layoffs are a result of the U.S. Army’s recent decision to cancel the Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA) program.
A spokesperson said the layoffs amount to less than 1 percent of parent company Lockheed Martin’s workforce, according to WTNH.
The layoffs will be primarily in Sikorsky’s engineering and digital technology segment, where the canceled helicopter would have been developed, the Post reported.
U.S. Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-3) released a statement Tuesday night saying that she was “extremely disappointed that Sikorsky will be laying off workers in Connecticut.”
“I believe that keeping good, high-skilled manufacturing jobs in Connecticut is essential, and it has been a top priority of mine throughout my career,” DeLauro said in the statement. “I have spoken with Sikorsky leadership to discuss their plans and the ways we can work together to keep jobs in Connecticut. For the workers who will be impacted, I am ready to offer my assistance.
“Sikorsky and its employees are the lifeblood of our community, and I will continue to do all I can to ensure the company has the resources to remain competitive and continue to create good-paying jobs in Connecticut.”
