Layoffs Announced At Ballistics Lab – West Virginia Headline News and Talk Radio

Layoffs are coming at the Allegany Ballistics Laboratory at Alliant Tech Systems in Mineral County.

ATK Missile Products Communications Director Rod Gibbons says they expect to make the cuts at the end of March because the company’s fiscal year begins in April.

“At this point we don’t have a number yet. We have asked employees that may want to consider offering that they be considered for these layoffs,” Gibbons said. “We do this in the hopes to minimize the impact of how many people we have to lay off in March. But at this point we are still working through the impact to people.”

Gibbons says no specific department is being targeted yet.

“We are focusing on the workforce what we have are some key program areas that we are looking to transition over but we have not identified specific departments or parts of the facility yet we are just asking folks if they want to be considered to please let us know so we can fold that into our planning,” Gibbons said.
