Boeing Locks Out Firefighters at 737 Factory Amid Contract Dispute
Boeing is an American multinational aerospace manufacturer that was founded in 1916 by William Boeing. It is the third-largest defense contractor in the world and is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. In 2019, Boeing's reputation and financial rating suffered after the 737 MAX fleet was grounded worldwide following two fatal crashes. In September 2022, Boeing was ordered to pay $200m over charges of misleading investors about safety issues related to these crashes.
