Cuts continue as Boeing issues more layoff notices
EVERETT The Boeing Co. issued more layoff notices Friday, as the aerospace giant continues trimming its workforce.
At least 281 workers were told they will be out of a job by late July. The company laid off 249 members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers and 32 members of the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace.
A Boeing spokesman declined to say how many non-union employees were laid off.
The company has to give laid-off workers 60-days warning ahead of their last day of work, which would be July 21 for employees notified Friday. If enough other employees retire or otherwise leave Boeing before then, the company may choose to not follow through on the layoff notices.
