The Boeing Co. is reportedly taking steps to eliminate 10 percent of its workforce in Washington state.
The Seattle Times reports the aerospace giant has already taken steps to eliminate 4,000 jobs by June and is aiming for about a 10 percent overall cut — which would mean about 8,000 positions in Washington. …

Sounds like they are going to “Feel The Bern”.
Trump will fix it. He can do anything.
Enjoy your new minimum wage: $0!
Feel the BURN!
Put up a big tariff against Asia - that should work!
I imagine some of these jobs are going to North(?) Carolina and other places where Boeing has factories in “right to work” states so they don’t have to deal with the unions.
More Obamaeconomy.
Typical Boeing. I remember several years ago people who worked there earned $50.00/hr but Boeing was always laying off, and the strikes kept people out of work for months at a time. Everyone made better money at places that only paid $15/hr but worked all year.
I used to get their monthly magazine. A lot of people have been with that company sometimes 50 years or more.
Some of this might be a ploy to get the state to offer more tax benefits and stuff like that to help in their “cost-cutting” measures. It is amazing the wheeling and dealing that is done to keep Boeing in the state. For good reason, but I wish the state would treat all business the same.
Welcome aboard the train. Check your emotional baggage and PC crap at the door!

Better than anyone else in this race. If you prefer business as usual, stay the course and vote GOPe.
Business is bad all over the country. The giant sucking sound you hear is our good jobs going overseas or Mexico.
Uh oh. How will this affect the pot growers?
Gosh. I hope they all have plenty of operating capital.
Concur Boycott.
Well, they will have those $15/hr jobs available to get them over the coming hard times. < /s
WA ping.
They’re going to lay off here in Charleston too.
That's ALL it is.
Boeing management constantly run hustles on Washington state legislature for more freebies.
As for taking things to South Carolina, when the idiot Sikh girl runs out of tax bennies for them, they'll move on.
Business at Boeing is the best it's been in their entire corporate history. The backlog is near $70 billion and the airlines are all making enough money now to replace the old tired dogs they're running into the ground.
Conner is simply running a game on everyone to maximize his monopoly.
