Boeing to layoff hundreds in Washington state as company-wide cuts continue

Third Bridge global head of analysts Peter McNally discusses how the Boeing factory workers strike is impacting business on ‘The Big Money Show.’

Boeing is laying off 396 employees at locations in Washington state, Reuters reported on Monday.

The move is part of a 10% global workforce cut that the company announced in October, which is expected to impact approximately 17,000 jobs within Boeing.

A total of 2,199 Boeing workers in the state of Washington – where its workforce totals more than 60,000 – will be laid off over the next few months, Fox Business reported in November.

Another 200 or so employees will be laid off in Oregon, South Carolina and Missouri during the same timeframe.

According to Boeing, “only a very small number” of employees will lose their jobs in December, “while the majority will exit in mid-January.”

“Eligible employees will receive severance pay, career transition services, and subsidized health care benefits up to 3 months after exiting the company,” the company said previously.

The cuts are coming through layoffs or by not filling vacancies in efforts to revamp the company following a tumultuous year that began in early January when a panel blew out mid-air on an Alaska Airlines flight.

Most recently, the company was forced to stall production of its strongest-selling 737 MAX jet amid a weeks-long strike on the West Coast.

“As previously announced, we are adjusting our workforce levels to align with our financial reality and a more focused set of priorities. We are committed to ensuring our employees have support during this challenging time,” Boeing previously said to FOX Business.

North Dakota National Guard heading to Washington duty

BISMARCK — About 60 North Dakota Army National Guard Soldiers will be sent to help the District of Columbia National Guard under a joint task force starting in April.

Most soldiers are from the 131st Military Police Battalion, which is headquartered in Bismarck, according to a release.

The support will be given as part of the effort that began on Aug. 11, when several states activated members of their National Guard to support local and federal law enforcement in Washington under the President Donald Trump’s

executive order 14333,

which declared a crime emergency in the nation’s capital.

The support is a federal mission under the command of the D.C. National Guard, which supports civilian agencies and local law enforcement to reduce crime and minimize property damage.

“Safeguarding the citizens, federal workers and elected leaders in our nation’s capital is a matter of national security, and we appreciate these Soldiers volunteering for this important mission,” said North Dakota Gov. Kelly Armstrong in a release. “We know they will represent our state with the skill and professionalism that military leaders everywhere have come to expect from the North Dakota National Guard.”

The battalion is expected to be in Washington for about three months.

At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
