Union group says cuts came from IBM's global services division and more reductions will come.
IBM laid off 1,315 U.S. workers from its global services division on Tuesday, a union group under the Communications Workers of America said Tuesday.
The world’s largest technology company also released an unknown number of contractors, and job cuts will continue, Alliance@IBM said on its Web site. An IBM spokesperson could not immediately be reached for confirmation.
The company said at an investors’ conference last month that it would reduce costs in the U.S. and noted a slowdown in its U.S. enterprise business. IBM reported its net profit rose 8 percent year-over-year in the first quarter to $1.8 billion.
