Boeing factory workers speak out from picket lines in Washington state | ABS-CBN News

On Friday (September 13) unionized Boeing workers walked picket lines holding signs that read 'On Strike Against Boeing' in Renton, Washington. They were joined by workers from across the United States who produce the MAX and other jets. This comes after rejecting a contract deal due to demands for higher pay. The workers' first strike since 2008 comes as Boeing is under heavy scrutiny from U.S. regulators and customers after a door panel blew off a 737 MAX jet mid-air in January. The strike is creating more uncertainty and concern for suppliers of parts and components for programs like the 737 MAX. Many were already having difficulty planning production due to Boeing’s repeated changes to internal forecasts for suppliers. Brian West, Boeing's chief financial officer, said on Friday that the company wants to get back to the table, acknowledging that a strike is concerning for production, delivery and finances. He said the walkout will make it harder for Boeing to meet the production of its best-selling 737 MAX jet target and stabilize its supply chain. (Production: Matt M.
