Boeing US Factory Workers On Strike After 96% Vote For Walkout
Machinists at Boeing, represented by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, have voted overwhelmingly to strike, rejecting a contract offer that included a 25% pay raise over four years. This marks a significant blow to the aircraft manufacturer, which is already grappling with financial losses and reputational challenges. As production of Boeing's best-selling planes, including the 737 Max, is set to halt, the company's new CEO, Kelly Ortberg, warns that this strike could jeopardize Boeing's recovery and further erode customer trust.
