Boeing to start involuntary layoffs worldwide

Boeing President and CEO Dave Calhoun on Wednesday announced the company's worldwide involuntary layoffs.

The company has concluded the voluntary layoff (VLO) program since last month and now has to start involuntary layoffs (ILO). "We're notifying the first 6,770 of our U.S. team members this week that they will be affected," Calhoun said in a letter to employees.

"Our international locations also are working through workforce reductions that will be communicated locally on their own timelines in accordance with local laws and benefit terms," he added.

Boeing will provide all the support to those impacted by the ILOs, which includes severance pay, COBRA health care coverage for U.S. employees and career transition services, Calhoun said.

The COVID-19 pandemic's devastating impact on the airline industry means a deep cut in the number of commercial jets and services the customers will need over the next few years, which in turn means fewer jobs on production lines and in offices, according to Calhoun.

He said the company will have to adjust business plans constantly until the global pandemic stops whipsawing the aviation markets. It will take years to return to the situation before the COVID-19 outbreak.

Boeing employs about 145,000 employees across the United States and in more than 65 countries and regions, according to its official website.

波音非自愿裁员6770人以努力削减成本

波音公司计划在本周裁员6000多人以努力削减成本，原因是新冠病毒大流行还在继续摧毁航空旅行和航空航天行业。

这家飞机制造商此前称其正在寻求通过自愿离职和非自愿裁员的方式，将员工人数裁减10%。根据波音公司2019年的年报，该公司拥有超过16万名员工。

“继上个月宣布裁员之后，我们已经结束了自愿离职（VLO）计划。”波音首席执行官戴夫-卡尔霍恩（Dave Calhoun）在向员工发出一份通知中表示。“现在，我们已经到了不得不开始非自愿裁员（ILO）的不幸时刻。本周，我们将向首批将会受此影响的6770名美国团队成员发出通知。”

波音公司表示，未来几个月将有数千名其他员工被裁员，另外还有5520名波音员工已经获准自愿离职。

China’s Legislature Approves Hong Kong Security Resolution

China’s legislature, the National People’s Congress (NPC), approved a national security resolution on Hong Kong on Thursday, paving the way for the NPC Standing Committee to draft relevant laws for application in the special administrative region (SAR).

National lawmakers, gathering in Beijing this week for the legislature’s annual meeting, voted on the Hong Kong national security resolution in the afternoon, with 2,878 voting yes and one voting no. Six legislators chose to abstain.

Aimed at preventing national security risks in Hong Kong and punishing those responsible, the resolution requires the territory to quickly complete national security legislation under its mini-constitution, the Basic Law.
