Job Cuts ? Here they come.

The Blaze

Do elections have consequences? If you have been paying attention to the financial markets, you might think so. Wall Street has had two horrible days
since President Obama won a second term.

However, stock prices are not the only thing taking a hit. It appears that the job market is also suffering. In the last 48 hours, the following major
corporations have announced layoffs in America (each is linked to the news release with details):

• Westinghouse -
Westinghouse Anniston, the contractor responsible for shutting down Anniston’s chemical weapons incinerator, has reduced its workforce by another 50 employees.

• Research in Motion Limited -
Research in Motion Ltd., the maker of BlackBerry smartphones, laid off about 200 people at its U.S. headquarters in Irving on Wednesday, according to
a source close to the company who did not want to be named.

• Lightyear Network Solutions -
More than one dozen employees at a Pikeville company lost their jobs this week. Officials with Lightyear Network Solutions said they are consolidating
offices in Louisville and Pikeville to save money.

• Providence Journal -
The Providence Journal Co. laid off 23 full-time workers Wednesday as part of a cost-cutting effort, including 16 members of the Providence Newspaper
Guild and 7 non-union employees.

• Hawker Beechcraft -
The company says 240 employees will lose their jobs with the closing of Hawker Beechcraft Services facilities in Little Rock, Ark.; Mesa, Ariz.; and San Antonio, Texas.

• Boeing (30% of their management staff) -
Boeing Co.BA +1.24% said Wednesday it plans to employ 30% fewer executives at its Boeing Defense, Space & Security unit by the end of 2012 compared to 2010 levels.

• CVPH Medical Center -
CVPH Medical Center has handed pink slips to 17 employees. The layoffs — nine in management and eight hourly staffers — are part of an effort to
“help bolster the hospital’s financial position in 2013 and beyond,” a press release said.

• US Cellular -
The move will result in 980 job cuts at U.S. Cellular, with 640 in the Chicago area, according to a spokeswoman. The cuts are slightly under 12 percent
of the approximately 8,400 total employees U.S. Cellular had at the end of the third quarter.

• Momentive Performance Materials -
About 150 workers at Sistersville’s Momentive Performance Materials plant will be temporarily laid off later this month, officials said this week.

• Rocketdyne -
About 100 employees at P ratt & Whitney Rocketdyne, most of whom work in the San Fernando Valley, were laid off Wednesday in response to dwindling
government spending on space exploration, the company said. The layoffs were effective immediately, and 75 percent of them came at the facilities on
Canoga and De Soto avenues, which employ about 1,100 people. The company has six sites across the Valley.


• Brake Parts -
The leader of an automotive parts plant in Lincoln County has told state officials that there are plans to lay off 75 workers starting in late December…
The layoffs are expected to start Dec. 28 and continue in the first quarter of 2013

• Vestas Wind Systems -
Vestas Wind Systems A/S (VWS) is seeking to sell a stake of as much as 20 percent and said it’s reducing headcount by 3,000 to raise the staff cuts
by the biggest wind turbine maker to almost a third over two years.

• Husqvarna -
Husqvarna AB (HUSQB), the world’s biggest maker of powered garden tools, plans to cut about 600 jobs in a move that will save 220 million kronor
($33 million) a year by 2014.

• Center for Hospice New York -
The Center for Hospice and Palliative Care plans to temporarily lay off as many as 40 employees next year as it embarks on a major renovation of the
inpatient unit at its Cheektowaga campus.

• Bristol-Meyers -
Bristol-Myers Squibb ($BMY) is following up its lackluster third-quarter results with almost 480 layoffs. As Pharmalot reports, the company notified the
New Jersey government that it would scale back in Plainsboro, which means the cuts will hit its sales operations.

• OCE North America -
Trumbull printer- and scanning-equipment provider Oce North America, Inc. will lay off 135 workers in three Connecticut communities, including East
Hartford, according to its notice with the state Labor Department.

• Darden Restaurants -
The company, which was among those who had received an Obamacare waiver in the past, is looking to limit workers to 28 hours per week. A full time
employee that is required to have health insurance (lest the employer pay a fine) works 30 hours per week, as defined by the Obamacare law.

• United Blood Services Gulf -
United Blood Services Gulf South region, the non-profit blood service provider for much of south Louisiana and Mississippi, will lay off approximately
10 percent of its workforce. It was a hard decision to make according to Susan Begnaud, Regional Center Director for the Gulf South region.

A layoff is tough enough for employees to deal with, imagine hearing the crushing news that your office is shutting down just before Thanksgiving and
Christmas… Here are some of the business closings that were announced in just the past two days:

Caterpillar Inc. will close its plant in Owatonna Minn.
Mount Pleasant’s Albrecht Sentry Foods
The Target store at Manassas Mall Va.
Millennium Academy in Wake Forest NC
Target Closing Kissimmee FL Location
The Andover Gift Shop in Andover MA
Grand Union Family Markets Closing Storrs Location CT
Movie Scene Milford Location NH
Update: TE Connectivity Closing Greensboro Plant – 620 Layoffs Expected

You beat me to it DR so I'll just add to it;

Welch Allyn

Welch Allyn, a company that manufactures medical diagnostic equipment in central New York, announced in September that they would be laying off 275 employees, or roughly 10% of their workforce over the next three years. One of the major reasons discussed for the layoffs was a proactive response to the Medical Device Tax mandated by the new healthcare law.

Dana Holding Corp.

As recently as a week ago, a global auto parts manufacturing company in Ohio known as Dana Holding Corp., warned their employees of potential layoffs, citing "$24 million over the next six years in additional U.S. health care expenses". After laying off several white collar staffers, company insiders have hinted at more to come. The company will have to cover the additional $24 million cost somehow, which will likely equate to numerous cuts in their current workforce of 25,500 worldwide.

Stryker

One of the biggest medical device manufacturers in the world, Stryker will close their facility in Orchard Park, New York, eliminating 96 jobs in December. Worse, they plan on countering the medical device tax in Obamacare by slashing 5% of their global workforce - an estimated 1,170 positions.

Boston Scientific

In October of 2009, Boston Scientific CEO Ray Elliott, warned that proposed taxes in the health care reform bill could "lead to significant job losses" for his company. Nearly two years later, Elliott announced that the company would be cutting anywhere between 1,200 and 1,400 jobs, while simultaneously shifting investments and workers overseas - to China.

Medtronic

In March of 2010, medical device maker Medtronic warned that Obamacare taxes could result in a reduction of precisely 1,000 jobs. That plan became reality when the company cut 500 positions over the summer, with another 500 set for the end of 2013.

Others

A short list of other companies facing future layoffs at the hands of Obamacare:

Smith & Nephew - 770 layoffs
Abbott Labs - 700 layoffs...This company is based right here in Temecula. This, on top of military personnel reductions who live in this area are killing our local economy and job market.
Covidien - 595 layoffs
Kinetic Concepts - 427 layoffs
St. Jude Medical - 300 layoffs
Hill Rom - 200 layoffs
Beyond the complete elimination of a significant number of American jobs is another looming problem created by the health care law - a shift from full-time to part-time workers.

And more;
http://www.ksl.com/?sid=22890041&nid...cid=featured-4

http://www.washingtonpost.com/busine...684_story.html

Boeing announced a 30% reduction through layoffs with more to come.
Lockheed martin announced layoffs.

8.3 million people are already working part time jobs because they can't get full time work. This will be huge when other businesses cut employees hours due to Obamacare alone.

And we are only 3 days out from the election. This is going to get bad, very very bad...

[Koontaj]

Im glad I live poor and can survive. Do people that make 70k get affected or do I get taxed or is it the 250000 k people. Like they say expect the worse and hope for the best. Ya! its sad..I guess I will leave this evil empire that raped the poor natives and now paying the price. So now all us immigrant should go back to our countries. Im mexican black german and french...I will go to Chihuahua, mexico. Its going to be hard with being infected with the way of the city life. Here is a little tune for all the rich/poor who are healthy and are still crying. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzrUqAtUcpU

Oh im going to Castiac lake with my 300curado okuma 711H and throw out my swimbait and have a good time.

[DockRat]

Ya! its sad..I guess I will leave this evil empire that raped the poor natives and now paying the price. So now all us immigrant should go back to our countries. Im mexican black german and french...I will go to Chihuahua, mexico.

I thought Barry Obama was going to save the USA ?
We will have to wait and see.

So you will go to another evil empire that was raped by Europeans ?
Spain conquered Mexico and killed the natives. They brought Spanish and Christianity.
Same story down there, Europe's little b!tch.

Do you even know anybody that speaks Mayan, Inca, Teotihuacan, Toltec, Aztec
Native languages ? Anybody ? Those cultures got wiped out by Europeans.

How come Mexicans don't hate the Spanish ?
Why do they have statues of Europeans that invaded there country ?

Where is Felipe when you need his logic ?

Too many people not enough jobs, no one is arguing that but what is the solution? I'll start by saying, "we need some type of population control just like China." Throw in some mercantilism and we are a least headed down the right road.

I'm all for population control,,, as long as it starts with those who advocate for it....

Oh im going to Castiac lake with my 300curado okuma 711H and throw out my swimbait and have a good time.

If the Native Americans {which I argue really aren't native, just first} hadn't been "raped" as you put it. I doubt you would be fishing in a man made reservoir with your 300 curado and Okuma swimbait rod, chuckin plastic trout, after you just drove there in your CAR and posting on the internet with a PC in your HOUSE that has Air Conditioning and heat...

If they hadn't been "raped" as you say, you would more than likely still be gathering deer meat from the forest whilst your wife was still crushing acorns and your children tanning hides from the animals you've killed for food with your Bow and arrow, sleeping in your TeePee,, heated by firewood you had to cut and cooled only by the Santa ANA"S

Modern day, evil empire luxuries are nice aren't they?

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!
All serial killers drink water. All serial killers eat food. All serial killers sleep. Etc.
This doesn't mean eating, sleeping, and drinking water are related to being serial killers. You should look at that website and realize that just because layoffs and business failures happen after the election doesn't mean there is a relationship between the two. There are many layoffs and business failures that occurred before the election, just as one would expect. I know you want to blame Democrats for everything bad that happens. Even better if you can find a "conspiracy" in it. However, you aren't correct in all your views the same as we progressives aren't. As my Dad always says: You would ***** if they hung you with a new rope. You live in a paranoid bubble. You need to realize you don't have all the answers. You need to have an open mind to real possibilities...

Very well said, but their are tribes that speak different languages. My mom side of the family still live at Sierra Madre in chihuhua right by sonora and Arizona border. I go there about every five years. Do your research. I know, we are quick to judge and slow to understand..its in our nature. I forgive you my ignorrant one....lol...this is fun..now you
