“The union representing machinists said the uncertainty about efforts to save jobs is creating frustration for workers.”

Look for the Union Label! It leads to overpriced labor that gets pink slips.

We own three of their recreational products (BRP), 2 CanAm ATV’s and an Evinrude 2 cycle outboard motor. Very durable, very rugged and dependable.

We recently got the 2015 Evindrude, traded in our 21013 Mercury outboard. The Mercury was a complete POS compared to the Evinrude. Hard starting, difficult to idle for trolling.

My family in saskatchewan uses their snowmobiles. Best of it’s kind. It never broke down on us.

Ok...

How many of these jobs are on the design side as the wrap up their latest model that takes the Pratt Geared Turbo-Fan?

And... Is this in anticipation of what? I could speculate more but I won't...

My heart truly aches with grief for anyone laid off.
Here in Houston are thousands of laid-off engineers and other technical personnel looking for jobs. Companies post want ads but, in reality they are merely resume-fishing without the intention to hire.

Not much information in the article as to why 7,000 workers are being cut. A simple Google of "Bombardier Mexico" provides a very strong hint of what is happening.

Google: Bombardier Mexico

The giant sucking sound continues, even from Canada.
