Boeing will lay off more than 6-thousand-700 workers this week,... as part of a broader effort to help the airplane manufacturer weather the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a letter Wednesday from Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun to employees, he cited the virus's impact on the airline industry as the reason behind the layoffs.
Overall, Boeing is expected to shed 10-percent of its 160-thousand workers worldwide.
According to Bloomberg,... about 13-hundred union members have applied for buyouts or early retirement,... which accounts for some of the job losses,... with thousands more expected to take the same option.
