WASHINGTON — Textron Inc. said Wednesday that it will expand job cuts to include an additional 2,100 positions, or 5 percent, of its global workforce as the recession continues to weaken demand for corporate planes.
The maker of Cessna planes, Bell helicopters and turf-maintenance equipment announced the latest job cuts in a conference call a day after the Providence, R.I., company reported a 63-percent drop in first-quarter earnings.
