Discharges at Fairchild Prompt Protest in Hagerstown
In Hagerstown on October 31, about twenty veterans at the Fairchild aircraft plant protested layoffs, calling out continued employment of women in production. VA officials said they cannot intervene. Fairchild vice president Boutelle said layoffs align with seniority under a CIO contract giving women the same rights. A Frederick County USES official noted roughly ten percent of laid off workers are local residents and that 85 to 50 former employees registered for re-employment locally.
