Boeing's Labor Countdown: Union Stands Firm As Strike Vote Looms
Boeing's Labor Countdown: Union Stands Firm As Strike Vote Looms
Boeing Co. (NYSE:BA) is facing significant financial and production challenges following a January incident where a panel blew out mid-air on a 737 MAX jet.
今年1月，737 MAX客機機艙內的一個面板在飛行途中突然爆裂，波音公司（NYSE:BA）因此面臨着重大的財務和生產挑戰。
Despite these issues, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) reportedly remains resolute in their readiness to strike if necessary to secure better retirement benefits and wage increases for over 30,000 workers in Washington state.
儘管如此，據報道，國際機械師和航空航天工作者協會（IAM）表示，他們仍堅定不移地準備罷工，以確保華盛頓州超過3萬名工人能獲得更好的養老福利和工資增加。
The IAM is pushing for wage hikes exceeding 40% over the next three to four years and enhanced retirement benefits, reported Reuters.
路透社報道，IAM正在推動在未來三到四年內超過40%的工資漲幅和提高的養老福利。
Union president Jon Holden of IAM District 751 emphasized that workers are committed to achieving a favorable agreement, even if it means striking.
IAM-751區的工會主席Jon Holden強調，工人們致力於達成有利的協議，即使這意味着罷工。
The strike authorization vote is set for July 17, but any strike action would not occur until after the current contract expires on September 12.
罷工授權投票定於7月17日進行，但任何罷工行動都不會在現有合同於9月12日到期之前發生。
During ongoing negotiations, Boeing has resisted union demands for higher wages and a seat on the company's board of directors.
在持續的談判中，波音公司一直抵制工會要求提高工資和進入公司董事會的要求。

此外，FAA發佈了關於波音757-200飛機開裂危險的新安全指令。
Holden stated, "They're not open to it at this point. But it's important for us to continue to push because it is about ensuring that those at the highest level of this company understand that they are missing the voice of workers."
Holden表示：“目前他們還沒有對此敞開心扉。但我們繼續推動非常重要，因爲這涉及到讓公司最高層明白他們錯過了對工人的意見的了解。”
The crisis deepened for Boeing after the January incident involving an Alaska Airlines 737 MAX.

Workers demonstrated at Boeing's Renton plant to coincide with a media tour showcasing quality improvements. Holden mentioned that the union has yet to see Boeing's 90-day quality improvement plan, although Boeing claims to have discussed it with him.
工人們在波音雷登工廠舉行抗議活動，以配合展示質量改進的媒體參觀。Holden提到，聯合會尚未看到波音的90天質量改進計劃，儘管波音聲稱曾與他討論過。
