Boeing to cut more than 400 US jobs

BOEING has told more than 400 members of its professional aerospace trade union in the United States that they will be losing their jobs, it was reported on Saturday.
The job cuts are part of thousands planned as the company struggles to recover from long term financial and regulatory troubles and an eight week strike by machinists.
The notices went out last week to members of the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace, The Seattle Times reported.
