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.

The execs created this problem, wouldn’t let the engineers do their jobs correctly, and ran the company like a bunch of hedge fund managers. I’m all for the workers in this case. Boeing has no ground to stand on. I’m glad that 96% of employees realize that.
