Shutdown Forces Lockheed Martin to Furlough 3,000 Employees

Bethesda-based Lockheed Martin announced Friday that as of Monday, they will furlough 3,000 workers because of the government shutdown.

As the shutdown continues, the company said it expects to increase that amount.

The company said it includes workers who are unable to work because the government facility where they perform their work is closed, or their work requires a government inspection that cannot be completed, or we've received a stop work order.
