An overwhelming 94.6% of Boeing's union members rejected the company's contract offer, highlighting deep-seated frustrations beyond wage negotiations stemming from years of strained relations.
This strike is indicative of a long-standing culture clash, where machinists feel treated as interchangeable and replaceable, which is profoundly offensive to their identity as skilled workers.
Boeing’s Chief Financial Officer stated that the strike jeopardizes the company's recovery, emphasizing the need to restore trust with the union as a priority.
Since 2014, the company has imposed health and pension changes on workers, suggesting that the roots of current disputes run deeply into Boeing's managerial practices and legacy.
