Boeing Cutting 17,000 Jobs Amid Labor Strike And Financial Losses
Boeing has announced plans to lay off 17,000 employees as part of a strategy to address mounting financial losses. In a memo to employees, CEO Kelly Ortberg explained that the company is facing serious challenges and that the layoffs are a necessary step to ensure future recovery. “Our business is in a difficult position, and it is hard to overstate the challenges we face together,” Ortberg said.
The layoffs come shortly after nearly 33,000 workers, represented by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District 751, went on strike. The union rejected Boeing’s offer of a 25% wage increase over the next four years, demanding instead a 40% wage hike. The strike, which has been ongoing for almost a month, is reportedly costing Boeing close to $1 billion per month.

Biden sends missile system and 100 troops to Israel, deepening U.S. role
The United States is sending one of its most advanced missile defense systems and about 100 U.S. troops to Israel, deepening U.S. involvement in the escalating war in the Middle East amid U.S. expectations of an imminent Israeli assault on Iran.
The mission marks the first significant deployment of U.S. troops to Israelsince the war in Gaza began and comes just three weeks before the U.S. presidential election in which U.S. involvement in the conflict has been a polarizing issue on the campaign trail. U.S. officials have been encouraging Israel to avoid targeting Iran’s nuclear, oil and gas sites out of fear that it could spark an even larger escalation that upends the global economy.
