Boeing To Lay Off Hundreds of Engineers Amid Sales Slowdown (reuters.com)
According to Reuters, Boeing has warned its employees that it "planned another round of involuntary layoffs that would affect hundreds of engineers at its commercial airplanes unit." From the report: The latest job cuts followed a prior involuntary reduction of 245 workers set for May 19 as the company responded to increasing competition and slowing aircraft sales. The additional layoffs are due to start June 23, according to the memo from John Hamilton, vice president of engineering at Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "We are moving forward with a second phase of involuntary layoffs for some select skills in Washington state and other enterprise locations," the memo said. "We anticipate this will impact hundreds of engineering employees. Additional reductions in engineering later this year will be driven by our business environment and the amount of voluntary attrition."
No one but the most blighted morons believed him. Only reason to vote for him was the same reason people voted for Shilary, they were not each other.
I'm a Bernie supporter, I believe in the fundamental decency of people. Except for Shilary, tRumpf, and most politicians they are fundamentally evil and/or corrupt.
Only I can judge you.
No, the timing of the relocation ...
There was no "relocation". The factory in Everett, Washington did not close, and Boeing had, and still has, no plans to close it. The issue was where a second factory would be built. Boeing offered to build it in Washington, if the union would agree to a long term contract with a no-strike clause. The union refused, and after a long legal fight, Boeing created the new jobs elsewhere. Some went to South Carolina, and some went overseas.
