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.

[SIDENET]

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.

Someone remind me...HOW did Washington state vote again?

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.

Time for Boing to open an “open shop” plant in the south.

Good. Obama’s redistribution continues.

[Datom]

I think if you are a machinist in Everett you just found out.

[Gator113]

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”.

[Uncle Chip]

800 in that Democrat enclave???

Is that all???

Do I hear 1000???

going once .... going twice ...

[3Fingas]

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

[SkyPilot]

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.

[Robert357]

Ouch, that is going to really hurt the State budget deliberations.

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%)

Time for the ol’ Board to go up again near I5 - “Last one out, please turn the lights out.”

[FlingWingFlyer]

This is one of the reasons why the commie union thugs are pushing so hard for amnesty. They are going to need those illegal aliens as new members to replace all of the Americana that have been laid off.

[Terry Mross]

caused by the sequestration?

Update per King 5: 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.

Update: 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.

Boeing and the Machinists Union say the layoffs aren’t unexpected. The union added that while it’s never good to lose jobs, there is no reason to panic.
No employees have been notified of layoffs yet.
