Boeing's Labor Countdown: Union Stands Firm As Strike Vote Looms
Boeing Co. (NYSE:BA) is facing significant financial and production challenges following a January incident where a panel blew out mid-air on a 737 MAX jet.
波音股份有限公司（紐交所：BA）自一架波音737 MAX噴氣式飛機1月部件中途遭吹出以來，正面臨着重大的財政和生產挑戰。
Despite these issues, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) reportedly remains resolute in their readiness to strike if necessary to secure better retirement benefits and wage increases for over 30,000 workers in Washington state.
儘管出現這些問題，據報道，國際機械師和航空航天工作者聯合會（IAM）在爲華盛頓州30000多名工人爭取更好的養老福利和工資增長方面仍保持堅定。
The IAM is pushing for wage hikes exceeding 40% over the next three to four years and enhanced retirement benefits, reported Reuters.
據路透社報道，國際機械師和航空航天工作者聯合會正在推動在未來三至四年內實現超過40%的工資漲幅和增強的退休福利。
Union president Jon Holden of IAM District 751 emphasized that workers are committed to achieving a favorable agreement, even if it means striking.
國際機械師和航空航天工作者聯合會751區主席喬恩·霍爾登強調，員工緻力於達成有利的協議，即使這意味着罷工。
The strike authorization vote is set for July 17, but any strike action would not occur until after the current contract expires on September 12.
罷工授權投票定於7月17日進行，但任何罷工行動都不會在當前合同於9月12日到期之前發生。
During ongoing negotiations, Boeing has resisted union demands for higher wages and a seat on the company's board of directors.

Holden stated, "They're not open to it at this point. But it's important for us to continue to push because it is about ensuring that those at the highest level of this company understand that they are missing the voice of workers."
霍爾登表示："目前他們不打算這麼做。但是，對我們來說，繼續推動非常重要，因爲這確實關乎到公司最高層是否明白工人的聲音。"
The crisis deepened for Boeing after the January incident involving an Alaska Airlines 737 MAX.

Additionally, the U.S. government sanctioned Boeing for disclosing details of the panel blowout investigation during a media event.
此外，美國政府對波音進行了制裁，原因是在媒體活動期間泄露了有關部件爆裂調查的詳細信息。
Workers demonstrated at Boeing's Renton plant to coincide with a media tour showcasing quality improvements. Holden mentioned that the union has yet to see Boeing's 90-day quality improvement plan, although Boeing claims to have discussed it with him.
工人們在波音公司的雷頓工廠進行示威，以配合展示質量改進的媒體巡迴報道。霍爾登提到，工會還沒有看到波音的90天質量改進計劃，儘管波音聲稱已經與他討論過。
