GE Aviation To Temporarily Idle More U.S. Workers
GE Aviation blames the latest furlough on the "unprecedented" impact of Covid-19 on the commercial aviation industry.

The ongoing effects of the global pandemic led GE Aviation to announce today that it will furlough half of its U.S. engine assembly and some component manufacturing workers for four weeks. The furloughs are in addition to last week’s announcement in which it planned to cut 10 percent of its workforce and furlough 50 percent of its MRO staff for 90 days.
