Boeing has stopped plane construction following a strike by 27,000 workers who were members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM). The strike occurred after talks between the labor union, the company, and a federal mediator failed to produce a new labor agreement.

According to Boeing, the strike will affect plants in Kansas, Washington State, and Oregon. The company will continue to deliver already-complete planes and will furnish companies with spare parts but will not work on any planes currently in production.

Some analysts are viewing the strike as risky on the part of the labor union, given the predicted market slowdowns. Boeing will also, most likely, suffer from this as it means further delays for its new plane model that is already significantly behind schedule.
