Boeing Wage Dispute: Factory Workers Extend Strike

Boeing's U.S. factory workers rejected a wage offer, continuing a strike impacting the plane manufacturer's finances and suppliers. The union representing 30,000 workers voted against a contract proposing a 35% pay raise over four years, with 64% opposing the deal, leading to ongoing financial challenges for Boeing.

Boeing factory workers in the United States have cast their votes, rejecting a recent wage proposal on Wednesday, further prolonging a strike that is significantly affecting the financial health of the struggling aviation manufacturer and its supply chain.

The company's most substantial union reported that 64% of its approximately 30,000 members, located in the U.S. Pacific Northwest, opposed the proposed contract. This contract outlined a 35% wage increase to be implemented across four years.

The continued dissatisfaction among workers underscores the increasing pressure on Boeing's financial stability, as it struggles with ongoing strike actions and demands for better compensation packages from its workforce.
