“”We just had Sikorsky announce the closure of their military helicopter delivery facility in Elmira NY this week..570 out at Christmas...UAW workers...””
I hadn’t heard that. My great niece’s husband found work there after he resigned his Army commission and is now getting ready for his 3rd deployment to Afghanistan with his Reserve unit. They were understanding enough to give him the time off for his reserve responsibilities but this will sure mess things up again for him. Took him a long time to find work after he got out.
He flew Apaches and his reserve unit in Syracuse didn’t have them but a unit in PA did so he transferred only to see the unit get called up in a matter of weeks after transfering.
Sad for everyone involved. I wouldn’t believe he would be a member of any union.........
My Nephew flies Blackhawks and my Niece flies Chinooks...He has 400+ combat missions, she was just named Commander on her vehicle...
I want them both home...
