Boeing machinists have ratified a new contract after a 53-day strike, approving a 38% pay increase over four years with a ratification bonus. While CEO Kelly Ortberg expressed relief, demands for a restored pension plan were not met. The strike significantly impacted Boeing's financial situation, costing nearly $10 billion. As production resumes, workers can return as early as November 6, but some will require retraining after the prolonged absence. Reactions among union members vary, with some celebrating the deal while others express dissatisfaction over unmet demands.
