US planemaker Boeing is laying off about 396 employees at various locations in Washington, a notice from the state's Employment Security Department showed on Monday.
This is a part of a wider job cut that Boeing announced in October and is expected to impact a total of about 17,000 workers.
Boeing is trying to get production of its strongest-selling 737 MAX back on track, after a weeks-long strike by more than 33,000 US West Coast workers halted output of most of its commercial jets.
A similar notice in November had said the company would lay off more than 2,500 workers in Washington, Oregon, South Carolina and Missouri.
