Wichita-based Textron Aviation will lay off around 250 workers as the nation continues to reel from the novel coronavirus. Some 70 of those involve employees in Wichita. According to reports, the layoffs do not involve union members, but affect salaried exempt and non-exempt employees. Textron employs around 9,500 people in Wichita alone. “As Textron Aviation continues to adjust to the evolving global economic uncertainty and existing market conditions, the company has announced workforce reductions and additional periodic furloughs in some functional areas throughout the remainder of 2020,” the company said in a statement.
