Is Nuclear power division affected in the 12,000 in Global Power Business layoffs?

I work in Greenville and the problem has always been a lack of true leadership. If i had a business and ran it like GE i would have been out of business a long time ago. There will be hourly layoffs at Grenville there is no doubt.

Why would Additive relocate? It’s already in a non-union, low cost-of-living area...it’s going nowhere. Additive is one of a few technologies where GE is leading.

All the cuts that already happened to Power are part of it. Including the 4500. So the cuts won't be as drastic. Doesn't look like any layoffs for hourly in Schenectady. Kudos too you guys doing a great job 301.
