    I chuckled at this part. Good on them (the union) for sticking to principles and following through with the strike.

    Newly installed Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg had pleaded with workers not to go on strike – the first since 2008 – ahead of the vote, saying the action would put the company’s “recovery in jeopardy”.

Working together, I know that we can get back on track, but a strike would put our shared recovery in jeopardy, further eroding trust with our customers and hurting our ability to determine our future together.”

    I really don't understand how Boeing couldn't expect anything less. Almost 95% rejection with good reason; no bonus of an item that is currently in place as far as I understand and the raise would be substantially less than what the workers are asking. What a facepalm time! Like really, what did they expect.
