Boeing plans 787 engineering shift to South Carolina; 300 jobs may exit Washington while defense unit lays off another 300 staff

Boeing plans to move approximately 300 787 engineering jobs from Washington state to South Carolina as production ramps up, according to the union representing its engineers. This move comes as Boeing's contracts with 16,000 engineering union members in Washington are set to expire in October. Separately, Boeing's defense unit is cutting about 300 non-union supply chain jobs.
