Boeing's vice president, David Dutcher, recently held an all-hands meeting for SLS employees to discuss potential layoffs, citing that contracts could end in March. The aerospace giant is invoking the WARN Act to issue a 60-day notice of potential job reductions. Boeing anticipates approximately 400 positions could be cut by April 2025 due to revisions in the Artemis program. This drastic step signals the company's response to budget uncertainty within NASA's SLS initiative, coinciding with President Trump's upcoming budget proposal for fiscal year 2026.
Cold and scripted is how one person described Dutcher's demeanor during the all-hands meeting regarding the potential layoffs for Boeing employees working on SLS.
To align with revisions to the Artemis program and cost expectations, we informed our Space Launch Systems team of the potential for approximately 400 fewer positions by April 2025.
