The work stoppage is detrimental to the company&rsquo;s fiscal viability as it has been costing Boeing nearly $1 billion a month, the S&amp;P Global Ratings reported.&nbsp;The company reported a loss of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/business\/3199833\/boeing-loses-6-1-billion-q3-following-five-week-strike\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>$6.1 billion<\/a> during the third quarter of 2024.<\/p>\n<p>More than 32,000 Boeing machinist employees went on strike on Sept. 13 seeking better financial compensation and other benefits. Their union turned down a tentative proposal from the corporation that featured a 25% increase in pay, according to reports. Instead, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers union were reportedly seeking compensation increases around 40%. The rift and disagreement in contract demands between Boeing and its union members led to the first work stoppage organized by the unions since 2008, CNBC reported.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>New CEO Kelly Ortberg is intent on coming to a resolution for the work stoppage. After becoming Boeing&rsquo;s CEO in Aug. 2024, he sought to strike a deal between the company and its employees to avoid a strike. He maintained that coming to a mutual agreement with the union was a high priority and crucial to plans to improve the company&rsquo;s financial performance and improve other areas where the company was struggling.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;My focus is getting everybody looking forward, get them back to work, improve that relationship,&rdquo; Ortberg recently said on CNBC&rsquo;s <em>Squawk on the Street<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Boeing&rsquo;s most recent proposal to the union on Saturday featured the aforementioned salary increases over four years and also a $7,000 bonus, an increase in 401(k) contributions, and improvements in other areas, CNBC reported.
