Boeing Workers Vote to Strike After Rejecting Contract Deal
Published On Sep 13, 2024, 12:48 AM
Thousands of Boeing machinists and aerospace workers began a strike after rejecting a contract proposal that did not meet their demands for raises and benefits. This strike, the first since 2008, has halted production in the Seattle area and could disrupt Boeing's supply chain. Boeing has faced challenges this year, with its stock down nearly 40% and concerns about its debt rating. The White House and federal mediators are expected to facilitate talks between the company and the union next week.
