In Missouri, Boeing is moving to hire permanent replacements as more than 3,000 unionized employees continue their strike near St. Louis. The company argues its contract offer is the most competitive in its history, while union leaders accuse management of backtracking by removing a $5,000 signing bonus. Tensions have escalated as the strike enters its second month, with both sides trading blame for stalled negotiations.
