	Textron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Textron NYSE: TXT, headquartered in Providence, Rhode Island, is a U.S. -based conglomerate which, unlike many other conglomerates, remains fairly large even after the "glory years" in the 1960s.
		Textron management decided to take a poison pill, and in November they bought Avco, another conglomorate roughly the same size.
		Textron was now too large to be easily bought, and was in enough debt to make a takeover unattractive.

	UAW v. Textron Lycoming Reciprocating Engine Div. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		First, Textron points out that, while the very existence of the collective bargaining agreement was at issue in Mack Trucks, the UAW here acknowledges the existence of the agreement, and rather seeks a declaration that the collective bargaining agreement between the parties is voidable because it was secured by fraud in the inducement.
		Textron's vice-president for human resources, Frank Ratchford, stated that he had no knowledge of any plans for subcontracting, and also promised to make sure that his knowledge was complete.
		Textron has also argued that the UAW's complaint must be dismissed because the union failed to exhaust the grievance procedures contained in the collective bargaining agreement before filing suit.

	Textron v. Widnall
		Textron argues that it repeatedly sought clarification of the contract language from the Government to determine whether the entire award fee would be available in the event of a termination.
		Textron proffers these cases as standing for the proposition that “fee payments made with allotted funds must be deemed available to reimburse costs.” In the first instance, those decisions are not binding on this court.
		Textron has not met its burden of proving that the Board's decision was fraudulent, arbitrary, capricious, grossly erroneous, unsupported by substantial evidence, or otherwise not in accordance with law.

	About Textron: Company History
		Textron avoided many of the costly mistakes of other conglomerates by entering new lines of business with small, incremental investments, where other conglomerates made massive, headline-grabbing acquisitions when they moved into new industries.
		Throughout this period, Textron was recognized as the pioneer of the conglomerate and one of the most highly diversified corporations in the U.S. In 1967, the Wall Street Journal called Textron "the conglomerate king." During this time, Textron common stock also split twice: once in January of 1966 and again in September of 1967.
		Textron has remained committed to its investments in growth and innovation, even during the toughest economic climate in recent history.
