Boeing’s 2024 labor strike continues as the company and a key union didn’t make any progress negotiating on Friday. Retirement benefits are a sticking point.

Amid a union strike over a pay dispute, Boeing has made what it describes as its "best and final offer" to roughly 33,000 striking union machinists, intensifying efforts to end the strike, which has entered its second week.

Boeing's union has the aerospace company over a barrel. Boeing can afford to raise wages but only at the cost of a big cut in profits.
