When Bendix Fluid Power Division, located on Seward Ave, Utica, NY, started it'd closing many years ago it never even hit the news.
Over 2500 head-of-household jobs were gone.
Now the state is going to get in a big twist over 600??
GE pulled of of Utica.........about 6,000 were gone.
Sperry-Rand...........another 1200 or so.
Chicago Pneumatic, Kelsey-Hays, Remington, Bossert Manufacturing, Utica Cutley, Utica Duxbak and the list goes on.
The state did NOTHING.
