Agreement at Boeing ends 35-day strike

21-10-24

After more than a month of stoppage at the Boeing plant, the workers' strike seems to be coming to an end. A pre-agreement between the company and the union has laid the groundwork for a solution that could reactivate production and put an end to the labor dispute that affected more than 33,000 employees. This agreement, although provisional, is seen as a significant step forward in resolving a situation that impacted not only the company, but also the aviation industry and the economy in general.

The labor dispute at Boeing arose out of a dispute over wage conditions and worker benefits. Employees were demanding wage improvements, as well as the restoration of pension plan contributions, which had been cut in previous agreements. For 35 days, the plant remained virtually paralyzed, generating considerable losses for Boeing, a company already facing significant financial problems.
