  • More than 30,000 Boeing workers, members of the company's biggest unionized group, were set to strike Friday after staff rejected a new labor contract and approved a strike with a 96% vote.
  • The work stoppage will halt production of most of the company's aircraft, including its best-selling 737 Max.
  • The strike is another costly blow to the company trying to increase output and improve its reputation.

You make a good point about respecting the choices of the workers. They know more about their situation than we ever could.
