WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg stated Thursday it’s more and more essential to see a decision to a four-week outdated strike by 33,000 Boeing (NYSE:) employees searching for a brand new contract from the planemaker.
“The solution is going to be one that supports workers, that’s compatible with the business succeeding,” Buttigieg informed reporters on the division’s headquarters. “We think both those things are absolutely compatible, and there’s a deal to be had.” Requested when the labor stoppage influence would trigger considerations in regards to the broader airplane provide chain, Buttigieg didn’t specify a date however stated with “each passing day it becomes more important… for them to come to terms.”
