Boeing is looking to raise up to $35 billion through stock and debt offerings as a major strike affecting thousands of its workers continues for the second month. The company also plans to lay off around 17,000 employees. Boeing announced that it is cutting workforce by a tenth and postponing deliveries of its new 777X aircraft. Negotiations to resolve the strike recently fell apart after Boeing withdrew a pay rise proposal for workers, leading to increased tensions between the company and the labor union.
