WASHINGTON, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Boeing said on Wednesday it is issuing layoff notices starting this week to workers impacted by a broader plan by the heavily indebted planemaker to cut 17,000 jobs, or 10% of its global workforce.

Boeing Co. (NYSE: BA) has issued layoff notices to over 400 members of its professional aerospace labor union, as part of the company's ongoing efforts to recover from financial and regulatory challenges.

Boeing has issued layoff notices to 438 members of the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA) this week as part of a broader effort to reduce its global workforce by 10%, according to KIRO Newsradio.

Boeing started issuing layoff notices Wednesday to 17,000 employees to cut 10% of its workforce in an effort to shore up the aerospace giant's shaky finances.

Boeing laid off 111 St. Louis-area mechanics amid production pauses and plans to reduce its global workforce by 10%.

The layoff notices were issued last week to members of the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA), with affected workers remaining on the payroll until mid-January.

One of our region’s largest employers, Boeing, is starting to send out layoff notices today. Workers who build aircraft are not expected to be cut, according to CEO Kelly Ortberg. Employees in the Machinists Union returned to work Tuesday after a seven-week strike, and Boeing needs to start delivering airplanes again.
