Boeing has announced a temporary suspension of production operations at its Puget Sound area facilities in light of the state of COVID-19<\/a> emergency in\u00a0Washington state\u00a0and the company’s continuous assessment of the accelerating spread in the region. These actions are being taken to ensure the well-being of employees, their families and the local community, and will include an orderly shutdown consistent with the requirements of its customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boeing<\/a> plans to begin reducing production activity today and projects the suspension of such operations to begin on\u00a0Wednesday, March 25, at sites across the Puget Sound area. The suspension of production operations will last 14 days, during which Boeing will continue to monitor government guidance and actions on COVID-19 and its associated impacts on all company operations. During this time, we will be conducting additional deep cleaning activities at impacted sites and establishing rigorous criteria for return to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This necessary step protects our employees and the communities where they work and live. We continue to work closely with public health officials, and we’re in contact with our customers, suppliers and other stakeholders who are affected by this temporary suspension. We regret the difficulty this will cause them, as well as our employees, but it’s vital to maintain health and safety for all those who support our products and services, and to assist in the national effort to combat the spread of COVID-19.<\/p>Boeing President and CEO\u00a0Dave Calhoun<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Production employees should continue to report for their assigned shifts today and will receive guidance on their role in the suspension shutdown process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puget Sound area-based employees who can work from home will continue to do so. Those who cannot work remotely will receive paid leave for the initial 10 working days of the suspension \u2013 double the company policy \u2013 which will provide coverage for the 14 calendar day suspension period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boeing is working to minimise this suspension’s impact on the company’s ability to deliver and support its defence<\/a> and space programs and ensure the readiness of our defence customers to perform their vital missions. Boeing will work closely with those customers in the coming days to develop plans that ensure customers are supported throughout this period. Critical distribution operations in support of airline, government, and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) customers will continue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
