Burt - Re: Fab 19 Refurbishment and Employee Displacement Thanks for the article - where was this published? The issue of employee displacement is a touchy one - Intel has to shut down parts of the Fab to do the refurbishment. Since that Fab was made (mid to late 1980s), Intel has improved their fabs with quite a bit of process and material flow automation. Putting in these new capabilities will inevitably result in a lower man/woman power requirement - but increased productivity. It would appear Intel is trying to minimize the pain of this transition for the employees affected. Paul
