Boeing is in 'deep trouble' as production struggles amid strike
Boeing (BA) is cutting 17,000 jobs amid the factory workers strike that has stretched into its fourth week. These job cuts represent 10% of Boeing's global workforce of over 170,000. To speak more on this breaking news, Boyd Group International president Mike Boyd joins Josh Lipton, Pras Subramanian, and Julie Hyman on Asking for a Trend. "They got no product to go forward with, they've got... a production limit, they can't deliver the [737 Max 10] like they're supposed to," Boyd tells Yahoo Finance.
