Naval Shipyards

Employment in the eight naval shipyards continues to fall. Total employment was 75,860 in June 1985. By the end of 1985 employ- ment had fallen to 72,490. The Navy now projects that employment must decline to 68,000 during this fiscal year to meet budget objectives.

Meanwhile, NAVSEA has di- rected that overtime in the naval shipyards in FY 1986 be reduced by 3.2 million man-hours. A target of a 6.3 percent composite overtime rate has been set for this year, compared to 10.3 percent in FY 1985.

Small Business Set Asides

The Navy has expressed concern to Congress about the impact of set- ting aside ship maintenance work for small businesses. Mr. Pyatt stated in late February that:

One of the challenges we have in maintaining a national industrial base is proper utilization of both large and small businesses. Dur- ing the past few years, we have properly relied on the capabilities of small business. Now, we find that small business preferences are operating to the disadvantage of the larger firms. The distribu- tion of work is:

East Coast 13% 17%

SRA Alone 0 16

West Coast 12 54
