Cessna employees expect to hear layoff news this week

Several Cessna employees tell me they’re expecting more news about upcoming layoffs this week.  Earlier this month, Cessna said it must cut 2,000 jobs systemwide as it revises its 2009 delivery schedule downward — the second round of cuts for the Wichita business jetmaker.   The company plans to issue 60-day layoff notices, but so far has not said how many job cuts will be in Wichita, where 12,000 of the company’s 15,000 employees work. Nor has it handed out the notices.   Stay tuned.
