A Boeing spokesperson confirmed on Friday that the company will lay off 800 workers, as well as reduce its overall workforce by 2,000 or more in 2013.

According to a company spokesperson, the layoffs will be primarily of workers in the 787 and 747 post-assembly facilities, all machinists, in Everett. The additional 2,000 to 2,300 positions will be elimated through attrition and transfers.

No employees have been notified of layoffs yet.

Sad. You think most are D’s? Elections have consequences.

Sounds like a good decision.Move production to South Carolina where skilled workers do an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay.

How can this be?

I've just read about how our economy is in the midst of a "strong recovery".

Makes sense to lay off the folks finishing out the 787 if you can’t finish them out until the fixes are approved.

I imagine that is what they are doing. Although to give the union workers SOME credit - they just voted the other week to accept their latest contract without going on strike.

Not like in 2008 a few months after the stock market crashed and they went on strike.

Oh, wait, here it is from the Seattle Slimes:

Forced celebration of sodomy won, too: 53.7% to 46.3%.

Moral decline will be followed by economic decline. You voted for it, Washington. Enjoy.

And Snohomish county gave Zero 57% of the vote.

If you work for Boeing and you’re a conservative machinist, you have my empathy.

If you are an Obama voting democrat, I am LMAO @you. “Your chickens are.....coming home.....to roost”.

Is this because of Defense cuts or Dreamliner problems or both?

Unlike many posters here, I refuse to dance on the graves of people that are losing their jobs. Most of you have no idea who many of these people really are. Some could be Conservative Christians with small children or a sick parent. Yet the venom is in full force.

Moreover, these were people who worked - something we have a shortage of in this country.

Shame is an appropriate word to use here.

Seattle is a bastion city for liberalism. They live by the democrat sword up there and impale themselves as a result. Pity party not forthcoming.

King County (Seattle) presidential election results 2012

Obama/Biden - 668,004 votes (68.72%)
Romney/Ryan - 275,700 votes (28.36%)
