WASHINGTON, D.C. — Boeing Chief Executive Officer Kelly Ortberg said on Thursday that employees furloughed during a seven-week strike by factory workers would be repaid by the company for lost wages, but it would proceed with plans to cut about 10 percent of its global workforce.
Boeing furloughed thousands of salaried employees on a rolling basis after the strike by 33,000 union machinists began in September and halted production of its best-selling 737 MAX. But the planemaker later canceled the unpaid leave after announcing plans to cut 17,000 jobs.'Your sacrifice made a difference and helped the company bridge to this moment,' Ortberg told staff in an email seen by Reuters.
'A spokesman for the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace, which represents Boeing engineers, said earlier it was informed that 60-day notices of job losses would be issued to its members on Nov. 15.Boeing on Monday won ratification of a contract giving its machinists a 38-percent pay hike over four years and a $12,000 bonus, ending the strike.Those workers are due back by Nov. 12.
