Navy yard jobs at risk as rider threatens private shipyard share
California reps fight a House defense bill rider that would shift Navy repair and overhaul work from public to private shipyards. Rep. Hosmer and Rep. Lagnell seek to bar the amendment on procedural grounds, planning to move to strike it when the bill reaches the floor. They say the change could cost 12,000 to 19,000 naval yard jobs and $110 million in repairs.
