Boeing is offering its staff a 25% pay rise over four years in a bid to avoid a strike that could potentially shut down its assembly lines as early as Friday.
Union leaders representing more than 30,000 employees have urged the workers to support the proposal, describing it as the best contract they had ever negotiated.

Won’t even outpace inflation at that rate nor does it fix the past 4 years of hyper inflation. Just as tone deaf as you’d expect from a company that cannot produce reliable air travel after being able to provide it for decades before.
