Most 8-Wing workers safe from cuts

8-Wing Trenton is a good news story as far as civilian layoffs at the Department of National Defence are concerned.

President of the Union of National Defence Employees, John MacLennan, says there’s only 3 civilian positions effected by layoffs at CFB Trenton.

Meanwhile, across the country, it’s expected around 1100 civilian workers will be let go.

MacLennan says he hopes those laid off elsewhere will have a shot at any jobs opening up at the Trenton base.

The 3 layoffs at 8-Wing Trenton involve their Alternate Dispute Center and Dental department.
