Lockheed lays off 68 in Fort Worth

FORT WORTH – Lockheed Martin Aeronautics has laid off another 68 workers at its jet fighter assembly plant, located at 1 Lockheed Blvd.

The job cuts have nothing to do with sequestration, but the need to adjust staffing based on program and business needs.

Lockheed has announced more than 300 layoffs at the plant since the first of the year.

Lockheed makes the F-35 joint strike fighter at the plant.
