Page "Bechtel" Paragraph 26

The 1980s were not kind to Bechtel.

Employee headcount plunged from 44, 000 in 1982 to 16, 000 in 1995 ; one of the 1995 layoffs ultimately resulted in a landmark 2000 employment law decision of the Supreme Court of California, which noted that it was Bechtel who had presented evidence of its massive layoffs to the trial court.
