Boeing to axe 17,000 jobs amid strike and quality issues
A month-long union strike at Boeing has grown contentious, as approximately 33,000 workers sought a better pay package.
Talks appeared to fall apart this week, and the union’s lead negotiator, John Holden, told Reuters, “We’re in this for the long haul and our members understand that.”
The global credit ratings agency S&P has put Boeing on CreditWatch, a sign that they could downgrade the aeroplane manufacturer’s rating if the strike drags out.
The company was already under congressional scrutiny after a January incident, during which a defect caused a panel to blow out on a Boeing 737-MAX jet shortly after takeoff.
No-one was injured, and Boeing’s then-chief executive Dave Calhoun said the company was “acknowledging our mistake”.
