Boeing's military factory sees the first major strike in 30 years!
Three Boeing plants in Missouri and Illinois have started a large-scale strike, which are responsible for producing and maintaining missile systems and military aircraft, including the F-15 fighter jets.
According to the data from the International Association of Machinists and Workers in the Aerospace Industry, a total of 3,200 machinists participated in this event, marking the first strike in Boeing's defense division since 1996.
The workers rejected a four-year collective bargaining agreement that demanded a 20% raise. Boeing executives expressed disappointment with the employees' decision but emphasized that the company has already developed plans to deal with the strike, and the production processes in the factories will be supported by employees who did not join the protest. However, the strike may affect the fulfillment of contracts with the Pentagon.
