Boeing is currently embroiled in a prolonged strike with its machinist union, marking nearly a month of labor disputes. The company has filed an unfair labor practice charge against the striking union, claiming that union leaders violated labor laws. Negotiations have repeatedly stalled, with Boeing recently withdrawing a substantial pay rise offer amidst an impasse. The ongoing strike is having a profound impact not only on Boeing's operations but also on its suppliers and the broader aerospace industry. As the strike continues, Boeing's financial stability comes into question, with warnings of a possible credit downgrade looming. The U.S. Transportation Chief has emphasized the importance of resolving the situation, but with both sides preparing for a long fight, the resolution remains uncertain.
