Based on the fact that production schedules need to be reduced one would have to conclude that production and support workers would be most affected. From the Erie Times: GE Transportation, which has hired nearly 2,000 people in the past five years, could be poised to let some of them go. "Given the brutal economic environment, there is a high probability of layoffs," company spokesman Stephan Koller said Monday. The company has a backlog of 1,500 locomotive orders, but in a reflection of the slowing global economy, many customers don't want their orders filled immediately, he said. "We haven't had any orders canceled," he said. "We are seeing some pushbacks, ... international projects being put on a delayed schedule (until) people understand what the economic climate is like."
