Boeing Co. (IW 1000/29) plans to lay off hundreds of engineers in Washington state and other locations — and may eliminate more jobs later this year as the planemaker contends with slowing aircraft sales.
The latest workforce reduction, which should take effect June 23, follows a separate exodus of 1,500 mechanics and 305 engineers and technical workers who agreed to leave voluntarily earlier this year.
Both union and non-union workers will be affected, Doug Alder, a Boeing spokesman, said on April 17.
