Boeing issues another 300 layoff notices

Boeing is handing out another 300 layoff notices. About 100 of Friday's 60-day warnings are in the Commercial Airplanes division in the Puget Sound area. Boeing has been cutting jobs monthly since it's announcement in January that it plans to reduce employment this year by 10,000 with about 4,500 of those in Commercial Airplanes.

Spokesman Tim Healy says Boeing has cut the work force by 1,900 positions since November and left another 1,000 positions unfilled. At the end of April, Boeing had 159,161 employees company wide and 65,972 in Washington.
