Ohio’s top union leader is disappointed and concerned following Intel’s announcement of significant layoffs, which could affect the state’s multi-billion-dollar manufacturing plant.
The corporation refused to answer questions on how this could impact the state.
“The last 100 days have been very concerning for me,” said Mike Knisley, with the Ohio State Building and Construction Trades Council.
Thousands of union workers and billions of dollars — stalled.
“A lot of sweat equity into making sure that they were ready when Intel barked — we’re ready to move with this,” Knisley said. “That’s a little bit of a disappointment … I just don’t know in present time if that’s gonna be viable or not.”
WEWS/OCJ has been reporting for years on tech giant Intel’s massive semiconductor manufacturing facility — one that was supposed to be operational by now — and its financial hardships.
Knisely explained that workers are concerned now that the company has announced it will lay off a significant amount of its workforce, less than a year after cutting 15%. Bloomberg News reported 20%, but the company didn’t respond to comment on that number.
