Kelly Ortberg in last-minute plea to assembly staff before vote on 25% pay offer during ‘difficult period’
Boeing’s new chief executive, Kelly Ortberg, has pleaded with workers to not go on strike, before a crucial union vote, saying the action would put the company’s “recovery in jeopardy”.
About 33,000 aircraft assembly workers, most of them in the Seattle area, are to vote on Thursday on a pay offer that includes rises worth 25% over four years.
