From Marianas Variety, one of the dailies in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, just north of Guam:
Just after Columbus Day, around 151 workers received a one-day notice of termination from Guam Industrial Services Inc. (dba Guam Shipyard). The termination came in the wake of the company losing an award contract to provide ship repair service for the Military Sealift Command at the former U.S. Naval Ship Repair Facility.
The individual worker notices were received on the same day of the effectivity of the termination of employment, which was Oct. 15.
Guam Shipyard employs 233 U.S. workers and 70 H-2 workers.
The 151 workers laid off were U.S. citizens and permanent residents.
