Boeing Worker's 'Strike At Midnight' Threatens Aircraft Production As Financial Risks Loom After 30,000 Workers Vote For Industrial Action
"We strike at midnight," declared IAM District 751 PresidentBoeing Co. (NYSE:BA) faces potential disruptions in its aircraft production as workers decide on a strike.
波音公司(紐交所:BA)可能面臨飛機制造方面的潛在中斷，因爲工人們正在決定是否罷工。
What Happened: Over 30,000 Boeing employees are set to strike on Friday after rejecting a proposed labor contract, reported CNBC.
消息: 超過30,000名波音員工計劃在星期五罷工，拒絕了一項提議的勞工合同，據CNBC報道。
Workers in Seattle and Oregon voted 94.6% against the tentative agreement, which was presented by Boeing and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. The vote to strike was even higher, at 96%, far surpassing the two-thirds majority needed for a work stoppage.
西雅圖和俄勒岡的工人以94.6%的票數反對了由波音和國際機械師和航空航天工人協會提出的暫定協議。罷工的投票率甚至更高，達到96%，遠遠超過工作停頓所需的三分之二多數。
"We strike at midnight," declared IAM District 751 President Jon Holden during a press conference. He described the action as an "unfair labor practice strike," citing issues such as "discriminatory conduct, coercive questioning, unlawful surveillance, and unlawful promise of benefits."
「我們將在午夜開始罷工，」工會751區總裁喬恩·霍爾登在一次新聞發佈會上宣佈。他將這一行動描述爲「不公平勞資糾紛罷工」，並指出存在「歧視行爲、脅迫提問、非法監視以及非法承諾福利」等問題。
The rejected proposal included a 25% wage increase and enhancements to health-care and retirement benefits. However, the union had aimed for approximately 40% raises, arguing that the offer did not adequately address the rising cost of living.
被拒絕的提議包括25%的工資增加以及對醫療保健和養老福利的改進。然而，工會的目標是約40%的加薪，爭辯稱該提議未能充分解決生活成本上漲的問題。
Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg, who has been in his role for only five weeks, had urged workers to accept the contract to avoid jeopardizing the company's recovery efforts.
波音CEO凱利·奧特伯格，他擔任這一職務僅五週，敦促工人接受合同以避免危及公司的復甦努力。
The financial impact of the strike will depend on its duration, with Jefferies aerospace analyst Sheila Kahyaoglu estimating a 30-day strike could cost Boeing $1.5 billion.
罷工的財務影響將取決於其持續時間，傑富瑞航空分析師謝拉·卡亞奧格魯估計，一個30天的罷工可能會讓波音損失15億美元。
Why It Matters: The strike comes at a critical time for Boeing, which has been grappling with production delays and quality control issues. On Wednesday, Boeing reported that it delivered 40 commercial jets in August, an improvement from the same month last year. However, the company is still dealing with the aftermath of a manufacturing defect that affected its 737 MAX production.
爲什麼重要: 這次罷工發生在一個關鍵時刻，波音一直在應對生產延誤和質量控制問題。週三，波音報告稱其在8月交付了40架商用飛機，比去年同月有所改喀。然而，該公司仍在處理影響737 MAX生產的製造缺陷的後果。
Moreover, on Tuesday, Boeing informed suppliers of a six-month delay in reaching a key production milestone for its 737 MAX. The new target is to achieve a monthly output of 42 jets by March 2025, instead of the previous goal of September.
此外，波音週二通知供應商，737 MAX關鍵生產里程碑延遲六個月。新目標是到2025年3月實現每月42架飛機的產量，而不是之前的目標是到9月。
The labor unrest adds another layer of complexity to Boeing's challenges. On Monday, union workers expressed dissatisfaction with the tentative labor agreement, hoping for higher wage increases and better pensions. This sentiment was reflected in the overwhelming rejection of the contract and the high vote to strike.
勞資糾紛給波音的挑戰增添了另一層複雜性。週一，工會工人對臨時勞資協議表示不滿，希望獲得更高的工資增長和更好的養老金。這種情緒反映在對合同的絕大多數否決和高投票支持罷工的結果中。
Price Action: Boeing's stock closed at $162.77 on Thursday, up 0.89%. In after-hours trading, the stock dipped 0.17%. Year-to-date, Boeing's stock has decreased significantly by 35.35%, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
