Thousands of Boeing Workers Go On Strike: What to Know
Published On Sep 13, 2024, 9:59 AM
Thousands of Boeing workers initiated their first strike in 16 years, rejecting a tentative contract that included substantial pay raises. The strike threatens to disrupt production at Boeing, particularly in Washington State and Oregon, where the majority of the company's commercial aircraft are manufactured. Although the proposed deal offered a 25% salary increase over four years and benefits improvements, workers opted for a strike to secure even more compensation and address grievances related to previous concessions.
