Boeing warns 279 union members of possible layoff
Boeing issued its latest round of 60-day layoff notices Friday, handing out 249 new notices to members of the Machinists union and 30 to members of the engineering union.
The company declined to disclose the total number of layoff notices issued Friday, which would include nonunion employees.
The number of people actually laid off on July 21 may be considerably less than these figures suggest, however.
Boeing must give 60 days’ notice of a layoff by state law, but it may not follow through if enough employees leave due to normal attrition. In that case, some who received the layoff notices may find their jobs are saved.
