LYNN — General Electric (GE) executives informed employees that new offshoring plans being put forward by the company will include about 80 jobs being outsourced from GE’s River Works plant in Lynn, according to IUE-CWA Local 201.  

The company announced last year that it is planning to split up into a series of smaller companies, a restructuring that is expected to cost GE $2 billion.
