Machinists at Boeing voted to go on strike after rejecting a contract that would have raised pay 25% over four years. The strike will impact production of Boeing’s best-selling airliners and deprive the company of much-needed cash from delivering new planes. The union members were unhappy with the contract terms, wanting higher pay raises and traditional pensions restored. The strike is expected to last into mid-November and could cost Boeing up to $3.5 billion in cash flow. Boeing’s reputation has already been damaged by recent incidents, including the 737 Max crashes. The union recommended approval of the contract, but many members are still bitter about past concessions.
