Boeing Strikers Have Leverage to Extract Meaningful Change

The potential machinists strike at Boeing could have a devastating impact on the company and its already struggling supply chain. With 96% of the machinists union supporting the strike, Boeing may face weeks of disruptions and significant costs. The company is already facing financial challenges, with cash burn, a high debt burden, and a potential downgrade in ratings. A suggestion to resolve the situation includes tying an extra bonus to future share repurchases, aligning worker incentives to the company's financial decisions. However, this idea may face resistance and may not be pursued.

Boeing calls time on the Great American Outsourcing

Boeing has announced its plans to acquire Spirit AeroSystems, an aircraft-fuselage maker, in an all-stock deal. This acquisition signals a shift away from a decades-long trend of outsourcing in the corporate world. The pandemic significantly impacted jet production, leading to losses for Spirit AeroSystems. Additionally, their quality-control issues have caused problems for Boeing. The deal with Boeing will help resolve some of those issues, and both companies believe that vertical reintegration will benefit air-travel safety. This turnaround demonstrates a growing realization that outsourcing may not always be ideal.

Why women leaders are missing from decision-making roles in India

Women occupy 21% of board seats in India's listed companies, but only one woman typically serves per company. Despite a presence in workforce entry-level positions, their representation dwindles to 17% at the C-suite level, as per the DivHersity Benchmarking Report 2023-2024. The issue is not a lack of talent but entrenched systems favoring traditional pathways and networks. A shift in leadership perception is necessary for meaningful change, moving beyond mere tokenism.

Inside Boeing’s struggle to make its best-selling plane again

Since ending a strike at its U.S. plane factories, Boeing has been slow to increase production of its 737 MAX jet. Safety inspectors have been scouring planes for missed flaws during the work stoppage, and workers have been renewing their safety licenses. This cautious approach has gained praise from regulators and airline CEOs, but some smaller suppliers are hesitant to staff up again, creating uncertainty in the supply chain. However, Boeing restarted MAX production last week and hopes to produce 15 to 20 jets this month.
