Boeing Machinists Strike Ends, As Workers Approve New Contract
Boeing is in a really rough spot at the moment on several levels. For the past couple of months, the most immediate challenge has been that machinists have been on strike (since September 13, 2024). Well, there’s finally a positive update.

Only in America, where you can not only build a faulty MAX and not be held accountable, you can also blackmail and potentially bankrupt your employer into giving a raise.
AeroB13a asked you the following question.
“Which airline would you choose if you had to fly between LHR and DEN once per month?”
You have ignored the question twice, why is that? Come now, we are all waiting for your expert opinion.
I see this as more of a victor for the new CEO Kelly Ortberg as opposed to the union.
Now, he can concentrate on fixing the mash up at Boeing which has festered for decades.
Good luck Mr Ortberg, you'll need plenty of it to right this ship!!
@Mogman
Nobody cares.
Or maybe you want to hear that, because you're actually AeroB13a himself under disguise?
"Nobody cares."
Did your bridge burn down? Is there another one you can crawl back under?
@TravelinPenis
Penis, you're really mad.
Maybe going outside and touching grass may help you calm down. Obesssion to deny whatever I say won't help you in any way.
Besides, no one else so far have ever questioned such little thing and it's been over a week since that happened.
By the way, self-liking your own comment is so obvious.
You are absolutely correct ERS, Boeing like the rest of America is a real sorry story.
American industry is in the doldrums, the American economy is extremely unsteady, American politics are decidedly unstable and the American public are forever consuming chemicals to stave off the effects of their psychological challenges.
One must not forget the consequences of the alcohol and chemically unstable gun owners who roam the city streets, or, use their vehicles as weapons against whomever they dislike.
Thank goodness we still have the IDF backed by strong political will to fight against international Islamic terrorism.
I wonder about (but we're unlikely to know) and age breakdown. There was a lot of union rhetoric about a return of DB pension planes. When younger, informed, people have a choice between the same amounts of funds going into a DB or DC plan, DC wins. The older staff at Boeing (if acting in pure self interest) want a DB and only cares Boeing outlasts their lifespan.
Blaming low level employees for top-down culture problems is hilarious. This comment section has some of the most monopoly man level takes I have seen anywhere
What a bizarre response. Hopefully you are nowhere near Ohio or even in USA.
Darlink Mark, I am so glad that you enjoyed my comment …. who read it to you?
Mason, I could eat a bowl of alphabetti spaghetti and excrete a more intelligent statement than whatever you just posted.
Sadly this contract is probably the death knoll for Boeing. With the blocking of certification of the Max 10 and 777X Boeing is losing sales and having to attract new customers with higher discounts. At the same time it appears the union is getting an exorbitant 44% raise in a time of falling revenue entering what may be a recession where the 44% will be unsustainable.
As a pensioner I compare my 3% compounded (maybe) pension and realize that airfares are going to outstrip my income even more so in the future.
Unlike so many I prefer the 787 over 350 and continue to trust Boeing. Sadly the enemies of Boeing seem to hold high positions of power.
Good luck Boeing. I hope to fly the 777X before the end.
