Boeing Union Workers Approve/Reject Contract
Published On Oct 23, 2024, 10:20 PM
Boeing's largest union has rejected a proposed labor contract, prolonging a strike that has lasted over five weeks. The contract was turned down by 64% of union members, indicating dissatisfaction with the terms. This rejection adds pressure on Boeing's CEO Kelly Ortberg, who is trying to improve the company's reputation and operational efficiency amidst significant financial losses, including over $6.1 billion this quarter and plans to cut 10% of the workforce. Boeing is also considering raising up to $25 billion through debt or stock sales to strengthen its financial position.
