Furlough days reduced at Kittery shipyard
Civilian workers at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery will have eight fewer furlough days than expected as a result of automatic federal spending cuts.
The Associated Press reported that the shipyard's civilian workers are scheduled to receive furlough notices in early May, outlining 14 unpaid days off from June to September. Earlier this month, workers expected to receive 22 unpaid furlough days.
The furlough days will affect 4,700 workers in Kittery and 800,000 Department of Defense workers nationally.
