2000....Cessna lays off another 2,000
Jan 13, 2009 04:30 AM

WICHITA, Kan.–Cessna Aircraft Co. told workers yesterday that it will lay off an additional 2,000 employees across its operations, saying the job cuts are necessary to ensure its long-term stability and success.

The workforce reductions will be implemented across the Wichita, Kan.-based company's facilities and affect all pay categories, it said. Cessna is a unit of Textron Inc.

Workers will receive 60-day notices within the next few weeks, with the cuts occurring in March. As part of the cuts, the company will offer a voluntary layoff program, with details to be released later.

The layoffs were not entirely unexpected. The company told its employees last week that it was planning a second round of cuts, a month after it issued 60-day layoff notices to about 500 Wichita employees and 165 workers in Bend, Ore.
