From the article:
Boeing workers on the West Coast of the United States have voted to reject the aircraft giant’s latest contract offer and extend their nearly six-week strike.
Nearly two-thirds of workers rejected the offer, which included a 35 percent wage rise over four years but did not restore a defined pension plan sought by many employees, the Seattle branch of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers union said on X.
About 33,000 workers have been on strike since mid-September when union members overwhelmingly rejected Boeing’s proposal for a new four-year contract.
On Wednesday, the company reported a third-quarter loss of more than $6bn.
Try 30 years. That’s when the finance-focused dipshits acqui-hired themselves into Boeing from McDonnell Douglas, and moved the HQ from Washington state to Chicago to be closer to the financial markets. And that’s also precisely when the slide of Boeing’s culture of engineering excellence began.
