Happy Thanksgiving: No further shipyard layoffs in 2016 - Daily Press


HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2016! - Thanksgiving Day Greeting Card & Message to Share with Family, Friends

In April, Newport News Shipbuilding President Matt Mulherin warned that 300 layoffs were possible before year"s end, adding to a string of job cuts that began in 2015.

On Monday, he gave shipyard workers another reason to celebrate Thanksgiving.

In a message to employees, he said: "While we are not through our cost reduction challenges, we are continuing to make positive progress, and do not anticipate any additional layoffs this year."

The Newport News shipyard, a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries, has struggled to deal with a temporary but significant drop in work. Activity has been winding down on three aircraft carriers, and that created what Mulherin called a "workload valley."

Layoffs began in September 2015 when 480 workers received notice, most of them salaried. In February, another 738 employees were let go. This time, the ax fell on hourly workers.

But as the year progressed, things began looking up. In April, the company announced it was recalling 75 unionized workers who lost jobs in February.

In May, it recalled another 210 workers in that same group.

"We have also begun hiring for a small number of positions this year," Mulherin told employees, "and will increase our hiring over the next several years."

The shipyard is the nation"s sole designer and builder of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and one of two yards that build nuclear-powered submarines. With about 21,000 employees, it is Virginia"s largest industrial employer.

The three aircraft carriers scheduled to leave the yard in the coming months are there for different reasons. The USS Abraham Lincoln is nearing the end of a mid-life overhaul. The first-in-class Gerald R. Ford is still undergoing testing and dealing with technical problems, but the Navy wants it to join the fleet as soon as possible.

The former USS Enterprise, the nation"s first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, is being inactivated and will be cut up and recycled.

"Please continue to stay focused," Mulherin"s letter says. "We still have challenges ahead, including delivering three aircraft carriers and one submarine."

As if to punctuate that point, Virginia Sens. Mark R. Warner and Tim Kaine released a letter over the weekend warning of possible job losses at Newport News if funding stalls for the Navy"s top-priority project: a new fleet of ballistic missile submarines.

Newport News Shipbuilding will assist General Dynamics Electric Boat of Groton, Connecticut, in building those new boats. But Congress plans to freeze federal funding levels through 2016, even as the new submarine program is poised to enter a detailed design and construction phase.

That could prompt 2,300 job cuts between New England and Virginia. Although the letter was not specific, it is believed that biggest impact would not be in Virginia.

Lessig can be reached by phone at 757-247-7821.

Hyde5: Jets' Geno Smith to start (Happy Thanksgiving)



1. Among Dolphins' fans Thanksgiving blessings, add this from the New York Jets' Twitter site last night: "QB Update: Rex met with Geno Smith & Mike Vick this morning & told the QBs that Geno will get the start vs MIA on Monday night."

Not that it should matter, but if you're the Dolphins you'd rather face Smith than Michael Vick. Vick has at least shown the ability to have good games. Before his brutal game Monday against Buffalo (27.6 rating), Vick had a 105.7 rating in a loss to Kansas City and a 110 rating in a win against Pittsburgh.

Smith has thrown seven touchdowns against 10 interceptions this year with a 57.4 percent completion rate and 67.4 quarterback rating.

In the big picture, the Jets' starter doesn't matter. They'll be shopping for a new one this off-season. And a coach. And maybe a general manager. But this quarterback decision also makes you wonder: Wouldn't it be more fun if Tim Tebow was on the Jets this year?

One cautionary note: Smith, or Miramar High, was the starter in last year's season finale that kicked hte Dolphins out of the playoffs. He was 17 of 27 for 190 yards with no touchdowns in the Jets' 20-7 win.

2. The signing of Giancarlo Stanton probably cost Jeffrey Loria the worst-owner-in-sports mantel. How else to explain he only finished second in a Rolling Stone poll of 200 ESPN panelists? New York Knicks' owner James Dolan was third and ... wait for it ... Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder was No. 1.

3. Jim Larranaga has a fun team to watch again this year.

4. Missouri is 6-1 and winning the SEC East. It went 7-1 to win the division last year (losing to Auburn in the championship game). Remember when everyone (me, too) said the SEC would tear up the Big 12? But then a Big 12 team came into the SEC and tore it up. Makes you wonder if the SEC is really as strong as everyone (me, too) makes it out to be.

5. If the Heat put on a show like Tuesday for 3 1/2 quarters against a great team and lose, I can live with it.
