The Boeing Company Layoff — January 2025

The Boeing Company announced it will reduce its South Carolina workforce by approximately 220 jobs, with most cuts (211) at its North Charleston facility and smaller reductions in Charleston (5), Beaufort (2), Moncks Corner (1) and Columbia (1). Most of the layoffs are expected to begin on Jan. 17, 2025, and the company said bumping rights do not exist. These South Carolina cuts are part of broader nationwide reductions by Boeing that the company said will total about 17,000 jobs, including roughly 2,199 already laid off in Washington state as part of a plan to cut about 10% of its workforce. Boeing cited the need to recover from financial and regulatory issues; management has said earlier labor actions did not drive the cuts.

The Boeing Company disclosed this layoff in an official WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) notice recorded by the CA state workforce agency on November 15, 2024. The notice covers 528 employees in Pleasanton, CA (Alameda County), with the layoff effective January 17, 2025.

The state lists each affected employee separately by work location, so this filing spans 10 CA communities: Astronautics Lane Huntington Beach, Carroll Road San Diego, Long Beach, Mountain View, North Pacific Coast Hwy El Segundo, Pleasanton, Pless Avenue MCAS Miramar San DIego, S Wolfe Ave Edwards AFB, Seal Beach, Seal Beach Blvd Seal Beach.

That is roughly 0.3% of the 171,000 people The Boeing Company employs.
