Boeing faced a major setback on Wednesday as its U.S. factory workers rejected a new wage deal, prolonging a strike that has severely impacted the aerospace giant’s production and financial stability.
The union, representing roughly 30,000 workers in the Pacific Northwest, voted 64% against Boeing’s offer, which included a 35% pay raise over four years. The continued strike is adding pressure on Boeing, already grappling with delays in aircraft production, further straining its relationships with suppliers.
The prolonged labor dispute is expected to have lasting financial and operational consequences for Boeing and its entire supply chain.
