Boeing has made a 'final' contract offer to striking employees that includes a 30% wage increase over four years and a $6,000 ratification bonus. This comes as the striking union workers demand a 40% pay increase. The situation is critical for Boeing, which has begun furloughs for thousands of employees as the strike could lead to significant financial losses, potentially amounting to billions of dollars if unresolved. The labor dispute poses a risk to the company’s credit rating and overall financial health.

Stock Forecasts

Boeing is facing significant pressures from the ongoing strike and may struggle to recover quickly even if an agreement is reached soon. The potential impact on production and financial health is concerning and indicates bearish sentiments for the stock in the short term.
