Boeing Defense has decided to move forward with hiring replacement workers as a strike involving 3,200 employees continues for a second month. The company plans to hold a job fair to recruit new staff to fill the positions of those on strike. Despite the ongoing labor dispute, Boeing maintains its position on the last contract offer made to the striking employees, with no immediate plans for contract negotiations. Tensions remain high as union representatives and politicians, including Senator Hawley, express support for the striking workers and emphasize the need for respect and fairness in negotiations.
