Bard to cut 50 jobs
C.R. Bard Inc. (NYSE:BCR) plans to cut 50 jobs from its Queensbury, N.Y.-based manufacturing plant.
The 50 positions could be relocated outside the U.S., according to the Glen Falls, N.Y.-based Post Star. That would leave the Queensbury plant with roughly 770 employees.
"We’re obviously committed to the area, and we’re looking for other opportunities to move products in," Bard vice president Scott Lowry told the news organization on Friday. "We don’t view this as anything major or something as a signal in any way."

In February, Bard announced layoffs for 200 workers from the Queensbury plant. Less than half that number were immediately let go, as the med-tech titan moved operations to other facilities.
