In the latest sign of weakness in Louisville-area employment, about 10,000 people applied over three days for 90 jobs building washing machines at General Electric for about $27,000 per year and hefty benefits.
The jobs dangle medical, eye care, prescription and dental benefit packages, as well as pension, disability, tuition assistance and more, said GE spokeswoman Kim Freeman. And despite the recession, no union workers have been laid off from Appliance Park since the company negotiated lower wages with workers in 2005.
“There are no jobs out there paying these kinds of wages that also offer these kind of benefits,” said Jerry Carney, president of IUE-CWA Local 761 at Appliance Park.
Just four years ago, the same jobs paid $19 per hour. But that was before Local 761 approved wage cuts for new workers aimed at preventing the closure of Appliance Park.
My brother use to work for GE and I had a good friend that worked there. They hated it.
You might work 2 weeks and they call you back to work after 3 mths to work a mth. It was so off and on and you couldnt depend on it they both found other jobs
As previously mentioned in this thread, that equates to about 100 per job. During the boom in the 90's, I was a recruiter for an employment agency. The pile of resumes we received for each job was tremendous, easily over 100 per position.
I can only imagine how many work we'd have been wading through if we had the capability to post jobs online and have people email resumes... this was back in the day when everyone faxed everything in.
