As a result, some 550 white-collar jobs will be eliminated, 80 percent of
which will take place this month with another 20 percent over the next
nine months. BRP already laid-off some 370 bluecollar employees in its
third quarter ended Oct. 31, and another 430 blue-collar employees have
received temporary lay-off notices in the fourth quarter. This workforce
reduction involves all BRP divisions, the company reported.

Maybe some will start up a new company and compete with the parent. This
industry could use some competition in Canada. Bombardier routinely prices
Canadian products 30% more in Canada even considering exchange.

Anything going on at Bruinswick?




Yeah, right, someone is going to start up a new outboard motor and
jetski manufacturing company to compete at a serious level with
Bombardier at the same time motorized recreational vehicle manufacturers
around the world are going teats-up.
