Boeing is planning to lay off 2,200 workers in Washington state and an additional 220 in South Carolina as part of a larger plan to cut 17,000 jobs globally, which represents 10% of its workforce. This restructuring is attributed to the company's need to adjust to its financial realities and align production capabilities following recent operational challenges and a significant strike by workers. The layoffs will occur primarily after January 17, ensuring compliance with federal notice requirements. Boeing states that those affected will receive severance and career transition services.
