Recently, the U.S. aerospace giant announced plans to reduce its workforce by approximately 17,000 employees—a 10% reduction globally—due to financial strain and a month-long strike involving 33,000 West Coast workers. Alongside these layoffs, Boeing is reporting $5 billion in quarterly losses and delaying production on its anticipated 777X jet. According to CEO Kelly Ortberg, this downsizing is necessary to “align with our financial reality.” But as Boeing navigates these layoffs, a Supplemental Unemployment Benefit (SUB) Plan could serve as a smart, strategic solution that benefits both the company and its affected employees.
