Boeing Compensates Workers Amidst Restructuring Efforts
Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg announced that employees furloughed during a seven-week strike will be compensated for their lost wages, even as the company plans to cut 10% of its workforce to align with financial realities. The furloughs, initiated in September, were part of cash conservation measures during a strike by 33,000 union members, which halted production of the 737 MAX. Despite the pay reimbursement, Boeing remains committed to its job reduction strategy, which aims to streamline operations and enhance competitiveness. The strike concluded with a contract granting machinists a 38% pay hike over four years and a $12,000 bonus, and employees are expected to return by November 12. Boeing's financial challenges are underscored by nearly $8 billion in losses this year, yet the company recently raised over $21 billion through stock sales to mitigate immediate cash flow issues. Ortberg's gesture to repay furloughed employees is seen as an effort to mend relations while the company navigates its broader restructuring efforts.
