On September 13, 2024, more than 33,000 machinists at aircraft maker Boeing went on strike, the first by the union since 2008.[2]
According to the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, 94.6% of workers voted to reject a contract promising a 25% pay raise over 4 years, and 96% voted to approve the strike, surpassing the two-thirds threshold.[3]
It has been reported that the strike will halt the production of Boeing's 737, 777 and 767 jets.[4]
It's been analyzed that the strike could cost Boeing $3 billion based on the strike in 2008 including inflation and airplane production.[5]
