Hutchinson Tech to trim costs, cut more jobs

The company announced the cost reductions while reporting another quarterly loss. Hutchinson Technology says it posted a net loss of $19 million. That follows a loss in the previous three-month period of $16 million.
Hutchinson Technology says product shipments declined in the three months ending in late June.
The company's financial results also suffered from a product defect, which it's in the process of correcting.
