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.

Exactly. The problem is the executives and the corporate culture. You can’t just tear it down or nationalize it. Current material conditions prevent this rapid of transition.

Maybe it’s something to work towards, though.
