WASHINGTON, D.C. — Boeing Chief Executive Officer Kelly Ortberg said on Thursday that employees furloughed during a seven-week strike by factory workers would be repaid by the company for lost wages, but it would proceed with plans to cut about 10 percent of its global workforce.
Boeing furloughed thousands of salaried employees on a rolling basis after the strike by 33,000 union machinists began in September and halted production of its best-selling 737 MAX.
