Boeing Engineers Vote Again on New Offer Amid Strike Threat
Boeing engineers are set to vote again on the company's latest offer after rejecting an initial proposal. The union has endorsed Boeing's new terms, but members will still consider whether they are acceptable. A strike by these workers would halt certification work on the 777-9 aircraft.
The impact of a potential strike was highlighted by CEO Ortberg, who stated that it would stop Boeing's 777-9 certification work. Union members initially voted down an initial offer from the company.
