The ongoing strike at Boeing has reached a crucial point, as talks between the company and the machinists' union have failed for the third time, leading to the withdrawal of a previously proposed 30% pay increase and the suspension of healthcare benefits for approximately 33,000 striking workers. The strike, which is now approaching a month in duration, has had significant effects on Boeing's operations, with deliveries lagging and a rising cost associated with the strike. Despite ongoing negotiations, both sides are struggling to reach an agreement, prompting calls for solidarity among workers and support from lawmakers. As the situation develops, the striking workers are preparing for a lengthy battle in their quest for fair compensation and benefits.
