Sept. 5, 2024 | WORKERS’ RIGHTS | Acting U.S. Labor Secretary Julie Su on Wednesday encouraged Boeing and more than 30,000 of the planemaker’s factory workers to bridge a divide in negotiations and reach a fair contract, as a vote on a new deal looms on Sept. 12. Boeing’s Seattle-area workers, who produce its strongest-selling 737 commercial jet and other planes, vote next week on their first full new contract in 16 years, with the two sides still tackling demands such as job security. The workers can strike as early as Sept. 13 if they reject the contract and overwhelmingly support a work stoppage. Reuters
