FORT WORTH -- Fifteen hourly workers have been laid off from Bell Helicopter operations in Tarrant County, a union has confirmed.
The layoffs on Friday affected dispatchers and experimental and electrical assemblers, said Gary Livingston, former president of UAW-218. The individuals were included in a factory "surplus" list or layoff list, he said.
"It's been relatively slow at Bell as far as layoffs for a number of years,'' Livingston said. 'We've had some small ones. This is probably the largest one we've had in a good while."
Bell has about 6,000 employees in Tarrant County.
