Boeing strikes out again Not much has gone right for Boeing this year, and this month adds yet another item to the laundry list. Last Friday, thousands of workers walked off the job after overwhelmingly rejecting a contract their union had negotiated, in hopes of a better deal. The workers' decision easily sparked the biggest spike in public interest about the ongoing issue, with articles on Sept 13th earning nearly 38k engagements. But the most interesting takeaway from following coverage of this strike is how many times the narrative changed during the week, and how each narrative fed into public interest. Talks of a strike began circulating in early September as contract negotiations between the company and the machinists union hit an impasse. On Sept 8th, Boeing offered workers a 25% pay rise in a bid to avoid a strike altogether, resulting in hundreds of articles that reported on a tentative deal being made, but these reports saw limited attention from the public. Threats of a strike were back on the next day, with even [the union president confident that workers would reject the contract.]( His intuition proved correct, as over 30,000 workers voted to reject the latest contract offer on Thursday, which immediately caught the public's attention, and a strike was officially announced. The [New York Times]( had the most engaged article about the strike by far, earning 21.6k engagements. There were some other narratives that captured attention in the midst of all this, though. Fox 13 Seattle reported that [Boeing's CEO purchased a $4.1M home]( amid the worker strike, and the Seattle Times revealed that Boeing had plans to [make other "cost-cutting" moves]( such as layoffs due to the strike. This pattern holds true to what we have seen on previous strike action. Normally, the walkout itself sees by far the most attention of any moment within the lead-up or resolution of strike action, as the public is often moved to show solidarity with the workers.
