Layoffs at Raytheon Aircraft Company in Wichita are expected next month. The layoffs are caused by the shifting of wire harness work from Wichita to Mexico.

Raytheon Aircraft has given layoff notices to 75 people who work in its wire harness operations in Wichita. The company says their last day will be November 19th.

In all, about 300 jobs will be eliminated in the division. The company announced its intentions to move the work last November.

Company officials say moving the work will mean significant savings to the company, which has been working to improve its financial performance.

4. If Kerry wants to win over on outsourcing...

he's going to have a much tougher stand that what he has...
most know multinationals already pay zero in taxes...

He has to, absolutely has to deal with trade policies and basically
consider protecting American workers as part of those trade agreements
as well as confront the power these US multinationals have...
we used to have anti trust laws and it's a joke..why GM has a GDP
almost the size of Turkey...without democratizing and reducing the power
of these multinationals and making trade law that supports all citizens of the country...I just don't see a real solution.

It will be disposable people, part II.

Very difficult to protect the middle class in this global economy
and I often think total innovative ideas need to be investigated...
but his answer in the debate was extremely and I mean EXTREMELY
disappointing...

all of the anti off-shoring activists groups lit up with disappointment.
