The quote from your post demonstrates that you think someone should.
"So far no public official such as the mayor or govennor has stepped forward to denounce the layoffs."
The state offered at $100 million incentive to the company to stay in Hartford and the union offered almost that much in concessions, yet P&W is still closing shop. The cost savings from closing the CT plant must be massive. It also implies that orders that need to be fulfilled using that plant have decreased exceptionally.
I'd like to hope the Union is suing as a last-ditch effort to keep people's jobs, but I still find it disgusting.
We're a Capitalistic society. Layoffs occur, it's part of Capitalism.
