Brian West said the financial impact of the strike will depend on how long it lasts, but it will affect the company’s production of its best-selling planes.
Boeing CFO Brian West said a labor strike that began Friday will hurt aircraft deliveries and « jeopardize » the company’s recovery, hours after factory workers walked off the job and overwhelmingly rejected a new labor contract.
West said the financial impact of the strike will depend on how long it lasts, but that it will affect the company’s production of its best-selling planes.
