Boeing, the American multinational corporation that designs, manufactures, and sells airplanes, has reportedly commenced the temporary layoff, or furlough, of tens of thousands of their employees. This decision comes amid a machinist strike, which has brought a significant portion of Boeing’s production activities to a standstill. The ongoing labor strike has significantly affected the company’s operational efficiency, forcing them to resort to measures like employee furloughs. As of now, the number of affected employees has not been specifically verified but is estimated to be in tens of thousands. Boeing is expected to work towards resolving the labor dispute to prevent further potential ripple effects such as further layoffs or a slowdown in their production schedule.
