Our union wants to be sure that any members who face involuntary layoff have the best resources and information available to help them transition to life after Boeing. Download our comprehensive  Facing Layoff brochures with electronic links.

NEW Jan. 11, 2021 - Sign up to attend a Virtual Information Session on Paying for College Worker Retraining Funding Program, Thursday, Jan. 21 from 1-2:30 p.m. Click here to view the flyer that includes a registration link.

After layoff, you MUST file for your Category A recall rights through Worklife. This can be difficult to navigate so we are providing a step-by-step pdf to assist you. File ONLY for the jobs and locations you are willing to accept. Be aware that after recall, it will be a minimum of one year before you are allowed to transfer locations. Click here for the pdf.

NEW 12/9/20: Washington State job search is optional through Jan. 19, 2021 on UI claims. As long as job search requirements are suspended, you may answer "no" to the job search question on your weekly unemployment claim and you do not need to request standby. Also the wait week waiver expires on Dec. 21. Anyone who applies for a new unemployment claim after Dec. 21 will have to serve the wait week.

The U.S. Department of Labor approved our Trade Adjustment Assistance petition. Click here to learn more. or click here for the 6-page TAA Information Booklet

Attend an IAM Live Rapid Response Webinar (look for dates in January): We encourage you to register and attend an IAM Rapid Response Live Webinar that includes representatives from WorkSource and Unemployment Insurance to answer your questions. You can participate in this live webinar during work hours, as Boeing provides you 5 hours to learn about available resources and participate in these activities; however, the 5 hours can’t be taken all at once. 

In addition, below are links to various PowerPoints and information presented at the webinars, as well as pre-recorded webinar from ESD
