Starting on Wednesday, 02-Dec-2020, wholesale layoffs began at the Windsor location.
No numbers yet, but it wasn’t a ‘deadwood’ layoff.
Many, many prominent names & positions are out.
Small skeleton crew left to support existing few projects left.
After those projects, GE will sell back its 51% ownership to Wuhan Boiler.
Another once great company destroyed by GE greed & incompetence.

around 70 people or so. if Windsor doesn't go under SP americas soon, it will close. Time to align with the region to have a shot at surviving.
God praise the Slate at Local 301
It’s always been just about 301 and no other local. They are on their own now like so many locals before them, it was eventually going to catch up with them. Your local matters too!
As I just stated in a previous post.
"It seems to be that no matter what the original subject is of any post made on this site, it always somehow goes back to Schenectady, Local 301, or Building 273. Somebody will post about a totally unrelated GE site and sooner or later commenting about Schenectady, 301, or 273 will pop up. This leads me to believe that either most of the people active on this site are employees of Schenectady and can't keep themselves from making it all about themselves, or Schenectady is Ground Zero for GE's problems."
See below, I rest my case
If GE trimmed all the "deadwood" in Schnectady, there would be nothing left but a stump, maybe it's time to drain the swamp. If the recent 301 election results are any indication, there isn't much hope for them anyways.
Probably but fewer than there would have been had the Slate not been re-elected.
I’m sure GE Power will find some deadwood at the Schenectady plant and more layoffs in NY.
Ahhh Wuhan home of the Coronavirus. We are selling are share back to the Chinese.
Layoffs are good in the same vein as pruning a tree. "Deadwood" has two definitions. 1) they themselves are "deadwood" and 2) they are rendered "deadwood" for lack or orders/work. I hope their post-GE careers flourish!
