(Reuters) – Boeing’s biggest union on Tuesday prompted the planemaker’s brand-new chief executive officer Kelly Ortberg to obtain even more associated with settling a strike by around 33,000 UNITED STATE West Coast employees, after their medical care advantages were reduced.
“It’s time for the new CEO to truly engage at the proposal-based level and to take the reins from his subordinates who are fumbling critical decisions like this one,” claimed Brian Bryant, head of state of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers which stands for the striking employees.
“There is no reason the health benefits question could not have been punted on to allow more time for negotiations at the table,” Bryant included a declaration.
