Boeing: Strike vote will have no effect on planned layoffs
EVERETT — Thousands of layoffs will continue as planned at Boeing, no matter how union Machinists vote on the latest contract proposal aimed at ending a strike now in its eighth week.
Members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers union, including 17,000 members from the Boeing plant in Everett, will vote Monday on the offer union leadership announced Thursday.
A simple majority of yes votes would end the strike, and send Machinists back to work. A no vote would extend the strike that has cost the company billions of dollars and led to Boeing launching a $21 billion stock share sale to avoid a credit downgrade.
On Oct. 11, Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg announcd the company would cut its global workforce by 10% “over the coming months.”
