More jobs are predicted at C-F-B Trenton under a contract Canadian aerospace firms were awarded as a part of a new deal the federal government has with Lockheed Martin.
The feds announced a 1.4-billion-dollar agreement two years ago to buy 17 new CC-130J Hercules heavy lift aircraft for the Canadian Forces if Lockheed awarded the service contracts to Canadian firms.
Industry Minister Tony Clement says Lockheed Martin is devoting an initial 617-million of the Government’s contract to five Canadian companies across the country as part of its obligations under the industrial and regional benefits policy.. Union official Barry Turner expects the jobs in Trenton will be contract positions, and won’t go to members of the Public Service Alliance of Canada.
