As the Boeing machinists union and the company continue to negotiate, the situation has taken a dramatic turn. The union has rejected the company's latest contract offer, and the company has responded by announcing temporary layoffs for its executives, managers, and employees. The move is aimed at preserving the company's long-term future and navigating through the difficult times brought on by the strike.

The strike, which began last week, has already had a significant impact on the company's production and finances. Boeing is estimated to lose over $100 million for each day the strike continues. The company's leadership has acknowledged the challenges posed by the strike, but has also emphasized its commitment to finding a solution that is good for all parties involved.

The union, on the other hand, has expressed frustration with the company's lack of movement on key issues such as pay and benefits. The union's president, Brian Bryant, has accused the company of using the strike as an opportunity to cut costs and further erode the rights of its workers.

Despite the challenges, the union remains united and determined to achieve its goals. The union's members have been on the picket lines, demanding a 40% pay bump and rejecting the company's initial offer of 25%. The union's negotiating committee has also been in talks with the company, trying to find a solution that meets the needs of both parties.

The strike has also had an impact on the broader community. Local businesses and residents have expressed concerns about the economic impact of the strike, and some have called for the company and the union to find a solution quickly.
