Cleveland defense payroll workers fear job losses under new Navy plan

Laurie Glicker has spent the past 39 years working as a military pay claims examiner at the Defense Finance and Accounting Service office in Cleveland. In upcoming months, she says her job will be transferred to the Navy in 2021 as part of a new payroll system for navy employees.

While U.S. a Navy spokesman said nobody in Cleveland will lose their jobs in the transition, Glicker and other Cleveland workers worry the new payroll program will eventually transfer jobs from Cleveland to a Navy base in Millington, Tennessee, that handles naval personnel and support functions.
