<p class="has-drop-cap">Boeing Co. (NYSE: BA) faces mounting pressure as its largest union rejected <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/09/24/g-s1-24282/boeing-offer-striking-workers" target="_blank" aria-label="the company's &quot;best and final&quot; offer on Monday (opens in a new tab)" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">the company’s “best and final” offer on Monday</a>, prolonging a strike that has already lasted nearly two weeks. The labor dispute comes amid ongoing financial challenges for the aerospace giant, reflected in its underperforming stock price and negative earnings trajectory.</p>
<h3 id="iam-rejects-boeing-s-latest-offer">IAM Rejects Boeing’s Latest Offer</h3>
<p>The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) declined to put Boeing’s latest offer to a vote, deeming it insufficient to address workers’ concerns. <br><br>The proposal, which came after unsuccessful federal mediation, included a 30% general pay increase over four years, reinstatement of a performance bonus, improved retirement benefits, and a doubled ratification bonus of $6,000 if accepted by Friday.</p>
<p>IAM District 751 President Jon Holden stated the offer “missed the mark on many of the things our members said were important to them.” The union objected to the lack of negotiation and the tight timeline for organizing a vote among 33,000 workers. This rejection follows an earlier deal offering a 25% raise, which was voted down by more than 90% of workers.</p>

<h3 id="boeing-s-financial-strain-deepens">Boeing’s Financial Strain Deepens</h3>
<p>The ongoing strike, involving over <a href="https://tokenist.com/over-30000-boeing-workers-go-on-strike-stock-tumbles/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">32,000 workers in Portland and the Seattle area since September 13</a>, threatens to exacerbate Boeing’s already strained finances. The company has implemented hiring freezes and employee furloughs to mitigate costs, with workers scheduled to take one week of furlough every four weeks for the duration of the strike.</p>
<p>The labor dispute is impacting production of Boeing’s best-selling 737 MAX and other jets, adding to a tumultuous year that began with a January incident involving a 737 MAX door panel. Industry analysts estimate the strike could cost Boeing several billion dollars and potentially lead to a credit rating downgrade.</p>
<h3 id="boeing-stock-continues-struggle">Boeing Stock Continues Struggle</h3>
<p>As of 11:20 AM EDT on Tuesday, Boeing’s stock (BA) was trading at $154.81, down 0.95% for the day. The company’s market capitalization stood at $95.397 billion, with year-to-date returns significantly underperforming <a href="https://tokenist.com/investing/spx-vs-spy/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">the S&amp;P 500 index</a>. Boeing’s stock has declined 40.61% year-to-date, compared to the S&amp;P 500’s 19.95% gain.</p>
<p>Financial metrics paint a concerning picture, with a trailing twelve-month EPS of -$5.64 and a net income loss of $3.44 billion. Despite these challenges, analysts maintain an average price target of $211.76, suggesting potential upside if Boeing can navigate its current difficulties.</p> <iframe src="https://tokenist.substack.com/embed" width="100%" height="320" style="border:1px solid #EEE; background:white;" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
