Nine days after settling a strike that cost the company billions, airplane manufacturer Boeing announced that it plans to cut 10% of its workforce and will start sending out layoff notices this week.

As Boeing's Machinists return after eight weeks on strike, experts predict the work stoppage strained finances for the company and region, but likely ended before the cost got prohibitive.

Boeing says it will be several weeks before it fully resumes building passenger planes, as factory workers return following a strike that lasted nearly two months.
