Unexpected Layoffs At Composites Atlantic

Thirty-seven employees are temporarily out of work after some unexpected layoffs at Composites Atlantic. The Lunenburg based aerospace plant employs more than 300 people and manufactures lightweight aircraft parts. President and CEO Claude Baril says the layoffs are the result of an unexpected change in delivery schedules from several major customers. The layoffs deal primarily with employees involved in production. Composites Atlantic is currently making parts for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
