Layoff News
Boeing Co. has revealed that 1,100 layoffs will hit its C-17 military aircraft program by the end of 2012.
Last year, Boeing announced that they would cut the production rate on their C-17 Globemaster III airlifters to only 10 of the aircrafts per year.
“This has been a very difficult decision, no question about it,” said Boeing’s C-17 program manager, Bob Ciesla. “But reducing the number of C-17s we deliver every year—and doing that with a smaller workforce – will allow us to keep the production line open beyond 2012, protect jobs, and give potential customers more time to finalize their airlift requirements.”
900 of the layoffs will come out of Boeing’s Long Beach, California location. The other 200 employees will be taken from Mesa, Arizona; St. Louis, Missouri; and Macon, Georgia.
