Boeing workers begin strike for more pay after rejecting CEO's pleas to accept deal

The company said yesterday it was ready to talk and "get back to the table to reach a new agreement" as striking workers picketed.

Newly-installed Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg had pleaded with workers not to go on strike - the first since 2008 - ahead of the vote, saying the action would put the company's "recovery in jeopardy".

About 33,000 workers in Boeing's US Pacific north-west region late on Thursday voted down a tentative agreement reached between their union and the company that included a 25% pay increase over four years.

They voted in favour of a strike beginning on Friday at midnight Pacific time (7am GMT), which halted production of the 737 Max.

Boeing workers voted 94.6% to reject the agreement, and 96% in favour of striking.
