The workers’ first strike since 2008 comes as Boeing is under heavy scrutiny from US regulators and customers after a door panel blew off a 737 MAX jet mid-air in January.
by more than 30,000 of Boeing ’s West Coast factory workers will make it harder for the planemaker to meet a 737 MAX production target and stabilize its supply chain, CFO Brian West said Friday.
West said Boeing had made progress toward ramping production of its strongest-selling jet back to 38 a month by year’s end, despite earlier skepticism from rating agencies over the target. West, however, would not comment on specifics related to the target, which depends on the duration of the strike.
The company’s 787 widebody jet is not impacted, as it is built in South Carolina by a non-unionized workforce.
