Westinghouse Savannah River Co. Announces Up to 1,200 Job Cuts by Oct. 1
The Associated PressThe Associated Press
COLUMBIA, S.C. Dec 17, 2004 — Westinghouse Savannah River Co. plans to lay off up to 1,200 workers by Oct. 1, company spokesman Will Callicott said Thursday. Westinghouse President Bob Pedde told employees in an e-mail the company that operates the Savannah River Site near Aiken had formally requested the layoffs, which needs Department of Energy approval.

Up to 800 additional workers could be laid off by Oct. 1, 2006, Callicott said, as site projects come to a close at the former nuclear weapons complex.

Westinghouse is involved in the cleanup of waste left behind from nuclear weapons production during the Cold War as well as environmental management and waste solidification at SRS.
