Bombardier Learjet is cutting 23 jobs in its service center and outsourcing the work elsewhere, and the Machinists union is crying foul.
The union has filed a grievance with the company, arguing that moving the work violates its labor contract with the company. It also is questioning whether the change violates the agreement Bombardier Learjet made with the state of Kansas in order to secure millions of dollars in bond financing.
A Department of Commerce spokesman says it does not.
Bombardier Learjet employs about 2,800 people at its facility near Wichitas Mid-Continent Airport. The jobs being eliminated are in the cabinetmaking and upholstery area.
