Boeing is undergoing significant changes as it has terminated contracts with over half of its lobbying firms amidst a financial crunch caused by a strike, which has seen the company lose over $1 billion monthly. The machinists union is voting on a new contract that offers a 35% pay raise over four years, but does not reinstate pension benefits, a key issue for many workers. Boeing's new CEO, Kelly Ortberg, plans to make tough decisions and structural changes to restore competitiveness, having announced layoffs of about 10% of the workforce. Despite the current offer being better received than the last, uncertainty prevails among workers regarding the vote outcome. Meanwhile, Boeing aims to raise up to $25 billion to improve cash flow and address production quality issues that have plagued its operations. The company's future remains precarious, with warnings of potential credit downgrades and bankruptcy looming.
