Ebb and Flow: Shipbuilding Industry

shipbuilding industry: Traditionally, there is an ebb and flow to employment in the shipbuilding industry. New trades are brought in as others are laid off, unless there is another job to do, according to The Chronicle Herald. Wednesday just happened to be the day Irving announced a major reconstruction of its facilities at the Halifax yard. Plans include construction of a massive assembly hall, paint area, barge launch area and parking garage over the next two years, with the entire process slated to conclude in the second or third quarter of 2015 and Calculating how many jobs will be created for Nova Scotians as a direct result of the federal shipbuilding program isnt going to be easy. It isnt just me saying that. On Wednesday, both Irving Shipbuilding Inc. and the union representing Halifax Shipyard workers pointed to this fact of life for people in the shipbuilding trades.
