Boeing to cut around 300 defense supply chain jobs

Boeing Co. plans to lay off approximately 300 employees from its defense unit’s supply chain this week, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg News. The positions being eliminated are spread out over several locations in the U.S. Boeing plans to notify affected workers this week.

White Plains, New York-based defense contractor Honeywell International Inc. announced last week that it would lay off 2,000 workers this month as part of a company-wide restructuring. Boeing employees impacted by the layoffs will be provided severance and outplacement support, the company told Bloomberg.

This round of layoffs at Boeing are largely affecting supply chain positions within the company’s defense division. The positions being eliminated are not unionized, according to people familiar with the matter.
