- More than 30,000 Boeing workers, members of the company’s biggest unionized group, were set to strike Friday after staff rejected a new labor contract and approved a strike with a 96% vote.
- The work stoppage will halt production of most of the company’s aircraft, including its best-selling 737 Max.
- The strike is another costly blow to the company trying to increase output and improve its reputation.

Not to mention how strategic of a company Boeing is to the US military complex. US government is 100% not going to let Boeing just fold. Not sure if Biden is going to bust the strike due to optics with the upcoming election, but I doubt the administration from either party is going to play nice with the union once the election is done, which is unfortunate and short sighted.
