No end for Boeing labor strike as workers reject latest contract proposal

LA Times  

Tyrone Hipolito, center, and other Boeing workers picket in Renton, Wash., after union members voted to reject a new contract offer from the company on Wednesday. Boeing factory workers voted against the company’s latest contract offer and remain on the picket lines six weeks into a strike that has stopped production of the aerospace giant’s bestselling jetliners. “This is workplace democracy — and also clear evidence that there are consequences when a company mistreats its workers year after year.” A spokesperson for Boeing said officials didn’t have a comment on the vote. Union machinists assemble the 737 Max, Boeing’s bestselling airliner, along with the 777 or “triple-seven” jet and the 767 cargo plane at factories in Renton and Everett, Wash. Ortberg repeated in a message to employees and on the earnings call that he wants to “reset” management’s relationship with labor “so we don’t become so disconnected in the future.” He said company leaders need to spend more time on factory floors to know what is going on and “prevent the festering of issues and work better together to identify, fix, and understand root cause.” Ortberg, a Boeing outsider who previously ran Rockwell Collins, a maker of avionics and flight controls for airline and military planes, said Boeing is at a crossroads.
