Boeing announces layoffs amidst ongoing worker strike
Manage episode 445208344 series 3303135
Tensions are rising as negotiations between Boeing and the IAM District 751 hit a stalemate. This comes amid a month-long strike, impacting 33,000 workers.
After contract discussions collapsed last week, both sides have traded accusations, leaving the future uncertain. Adding to the conflict, Boeing announced layoffs affecting around 17,000 employees – nearly 10% of its workforce – in a bid to cut costs.
With financial pressure mounting and workers seeking temporary employment, the big question that remains is: how close are we to a resolution, and what will it mean for the future of both the company and its workers?
Soundside was joined by Harry C. Katz, professor of collective bargaining within Cornell’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations (ILR).
