Striking Boeing workers likely to weigh on US payrolls in October
WASHINGTON, Oct 25 (Reuters) -A strike by Boeing BA.N factory workers could subtract about 33,000 jobs from U.S. nonfarm payrolls in October, government data showed on Friday.
The Labor Department's monthly strike report showed 33,000 Boeing employees were idle at the planemaker's plants in California, Oregon and Washington state during the October payrolls survey. Another 5,000 members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, the union representing the Boeing factory workers, were also on strike at Textron in Kansas.
The report also showed 3,400 workers walked off the job at Hilton, Hyatt, and Marriott hotels and motels in California and Hawaii.
The employment report for October will be published on Nov. 1, just days before the U.S. election.
