Uncertainty looms as Boeing prepares to issue layoff notices to 17K workers this week

Boeing machinists who recently voted to end a seven-week strike, are all expected to return to work by Nov. 12.

While 33,000 machinists will now be working under a new labor contract that includes a 38% pay raise over four years, the company has also announced that layoffs will be happening. This adds new uncertainty for the company's employees.

Circulating reports suggested the layoff notices could go out as early as this week.

Boeing has 170,000 employees, and 10% of the workforce, 17,000 workers, will be affected by this round of cuts.
