Boeing plans to lay off about 10% of its workers in the coming months as it continues to lose money and tries to deal with a strike that is crippling production of the company’s best-selling airline planes.

New chief executive Kelly Ortberg told staff in a memo on Friday that the job cuts will include executives, managers and employees.
