Boeing's Union Workers Just Walked Out for the First Time in 16 Years
==========
Over 30,000 Boeing union workers in Washington, Oregon, and California walked out on Sep 15, 2024, protesting a rejected tentative contract that included a 25% wage increase and a $3,000 bonus, while demanding a 40% wage increase. This is the first strike since 2008 and could disrupt the national economy. 96% of union members voted for the strike, fueled by stagnant earnings and rising living costs. Boeing's financial struggles, including production delays and a 22% drop in stock value over the past year, complicate negotiations. CEO Kelly Ortberg is expected to play a key role in addressing worker demands and rebuilding trust.
