those jet engines, testing all night long, used to put me to sleep. GE employed about 13,000 afl-cio workers back then. Ge at the demanded more land for parking and bought out many , many housing areas by city block at a time. Then they demanded streets be closed vs continue to pass through the city where ge had locations on both sides of public street. The city gave in of course vs seeing jobs move to Ohio etc. Then after knocking down a ton of housing , expand parking and closing a few public streets around the city GE started to move work of the river works in Lynn, and also the west lynn, plant. No idea of how many employed there today but nothing like it used to be back in 50's. Those old parking spaces are nothing but weeds growing up. Streets still closed and people continue to drive around several blocks to get to the other side to complete where they are going. Sometimes GE corps are so big they really control how a city will plan it budgets and function. It was really the only major corp left in the city, after shoe factories left for the south and cheaper labor and tanning factories closed. Ted trying to feed his voters in order to run for another term?
