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.

At least we know they all can't commit suicide all at once!

Maybe not suicide, but what if there was tragic (totally not suspicious) Boeing plane crash with many key union members on board. Then victim blame them for not having enough staff left to enforce safety or assist with crash investigations. Conspiracy!
