Marinette Marine shipbuilders say they’re facing layoffs.
Boilermakers Local 696 says it’s been notified that 91 union employees will be laid off effective Monday.
A union official says a second round of layoffs involving another 120 workers is scheduled for November 3, unless the company gets additional work.
Earlier in September, Marinette Marine’s CEO said the layoffs were necessary because of delays by the Navy and Coast Guard in awarding contracts.
But just Wednesday, it was announced that Marinette Marine would get more than one billion dollars to build two combat ships at their Marinette facility.
