Boeing and union negotiators are scheduled to meet for contract talks as a workers' strike nears its third week. The negotiations are likely to focus on wage disputes that have been a major point of contention. The strike involves Boeing union workers who have taken a stand for better compensation and working conditions, leading to significant disruptions in the company's operations.

In a related development, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has raised alarms over potential safety issues in Boeing's 737 aircraft. According to recent warnings, more than 350 Boeing 737s might have faulty rudder parts. Boeing's 737 flight manual advises pilots dealing with a jammed or restricted rudder to exert maximum force to overcome the system's limitations. This advisory has heightened concerns regarding the safety protocols and the reliability of Boeing's aircraft amid ongoing labor disputes.

As the strike continues and safety concerns come to the forefront, stakeholders are closely monitoring these developments. Major news outlets, including U.S. News and World Report and CNBC-TV18, are providing continuous updates on the unfolding situation. The outcomes of the impending contract talks and potential safety recalls could have significant repercussions for Boeing's future operations and financial health.
