"IBM Cuts More Than 1,000 Jobs in U.S., Canada, Group Says

Feb. 28 (Bloomberg) -- International Business Machines Corp., the
world’s largest computer-services provider, fired more than 1,000
workers in North America this week, according to an employee advocacy
group.
The job reductions are mostly in the U.S., with some in Canada, said
Lee Conrad, national coordinator of Alliance@IBM, which has been
trying to organize IBM employees. The group is continuing to update
the number as it receives severance documents from workers notified
with what IBM calls “resource actions,” Conrad said. Redundant
employees may apply for other positions within IBM, the documents
show.
Doug Shelton, a spokesman for Armonk, New York-based IBM, declined to
provide a number, citing company policy and the “competitive nature of
our business.”
The cuts would represent about 0.2 percent of IBM’s global workforce,
which totaled 433,362 at the end of 2011, according to the annual
report filed today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The company stopped providing a geographic breakdown of its employees
in 2009. At the end of 2008, U.S. staff accounted for 115,000 of its
398,455 employees, according to its annual report that year.
“IBM is constantly rebalancing its workforce,” Shelton said today.
“That means reducing in some areas and hiring in others -- based on
shifts in technology and client demand. This allows IBM to remain
competitive and relevant in an industry that is constantly changing.”
IBM rose less than 1 percent to $197.98 at the close in New York. The
shares have gained 7.7 percent this year.
Alliance@IBM is affiliated with the Communications Workers of America
and is seeking union recognition at IBM.
Information Week reported yesterday that more than 250 jobs had been
cut at IBM.
