Workers at Boeing, Airbus, and Hyundai Go on Strike Amid Contract Disputes

Boeing workers in Seattle are gearing up for potential strikes after rejecting a contract offer. The union, SPEAA, claims that nearly 72% of technicians and engineers voted against the deal, with professional unit members granting an 88% strike mandate.

The rejection is a blow to the union's leadership, which had endorsed the contract. However, the union says it will return to the bargaining table in an effort to negotiate better terms.

Meanwhile, thousands of workers at Airbus facilities in Spain are on the verge of escalating their strikes, with 40% of employees walking off the job in support of a new union contract. The union is fighting against plans by Airbus to reduce the number of days that workers can 'work-from-home.'
