Two days after announcing a hiring freeze, Boeing has announced that it plans to furlough employees on a rolling basis as strike action continues. 

On September 18, 2024, Boeing’s CEO Kelly Ortberg issued a memo to staff, stating that the layoffs are expected to start in the coming days and will impact “a large number of US-based executives, managers, and employees”. 

“With production paused across many key programs in the Pacific Northwest, our business faces substantial challenges, and it is important that we take difficult steps to preserve cash and ensure that Boeing is able to successfully recover,” Ortberg said.
