Boeing to lay off 396 employees
US-based
aerospace company Boeing said Monday that it will lay off 396 employees in the
state of Washington as part of a plan to reduce its workforce by 10%.
According
to a notice filed with the Washington State Employment Security Department,
Boeing will lay off the employees in February next year.
Boeing
announced plans for measures such as a hiring freeze, travel freeze and
suspension of non-essential spending to cut costs after factory workers went on
strike in September.
The
company announced in October that it planned to reduce its workforce by 10%.
In
a similar notice in November, the company said it would lay off more than 2,500
workers in Washington, Oregon, South Carolina and Missouri.
