The walkout depressed revenues in the period by $4.3 billion, Boeing said at the time.Another strike of that length would cost Boeing at least $3 billion, according to a TD Cowen research note cited by The New York Times. Jefferies analysts estimated a 30-day cash impact of $1.5 billion, and warned a strike "could destabilize suppliers and supply chains," CNBC reported. The rejected deal would have cost Boeing an extra $900 million a year if passed, they noted.A Boeing strike in 1989 cost the company $2.5 billion in lost revenue, and the next one in 2005 cost it about $1 billion, the American Action Forum <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.americanactionforum.org/insight/the-economic-impact-of-strikes-an-historical-boeing-case-study/">noted in a paper this week</a>. However, the conservative-leaning policy-analysis nonprofit said that Boeing might make some of that money later instead of missing out on it entirely."While strikes, especially recent ones, have been costly, there is no clear trend in how they have affected year-to-year revenue," the AAF researchers wrote. "This may be because Boeing generally delays orders rather than losing them, so their revenue is time-shifted rather than diminished."Even so, they noted the pending strike could be especially painful given Boeing <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/boeing-to-plead-guilty-isnt-out-woods-yet-government-contracts-2024-7">recently agreed to a plea deal</a> tied to the crashes of two 737 Max planes. If approved by a judge, the agreement would see Boeing pay a $244 million fine and invest an extra $455 million in compliance and safety programs."Considering the cost of the previous two strikes, combined with legal troubles related to manufacturing issues, a strike at this juncture could be particularly damaging," the AAF analysts said.Boeing is also weathering turbulence after the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/boeing-737-max-blowout-alaska-flight-attendant-doesnt-feel-safe-2024-8">midair blowout</a> of a door plug on one of its planes in January, which sparked investigations that revealed broad-based safety and quality issues and prompted <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/boeing-737-max-plane-safety-faa-production-timeline-2024-6">regulatory restrictions</a> on production. The company's Starliner space program has been <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/boeing-starliner-spacecraft-returns-to-earth-without-nasa-astronauts-2024-9">hit by safety concerns too</a>.The manufacturing titan employs nearly 150,000 people nationwide and ranks among the largest US exporters, meaning a strike that halts its operations could hit the broader economy along with its bottom line."While past IAM strikes have had relatively little effect on Boeing's revenue, the ripple effects of a future IAM strike against Boeing could indeed create significant disruption for the local economy and reverberate throughout the national supply chain," the AAF paper reads.Boeing CEO <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/boeings-new-ceo-tours-factories-signaling-intent-for-change-2024-8">Kelly Ortberg</a>, who <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/boeing-union-deal-includes-key-commitment-to-seattle-signals-future-2024-9">only took over</a> the company's controls in August, and his team said on Thursday they're prepared to return to the negotiating table. Quickly ending the strike would minimize its financial impact.

The source spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive operations.The source said the warehouse belonged to the Russian defense ministry's main missile and artillery department, adding that Moscow stored Iskander and Tochka <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ukraine-says-fooled-russia-strike-fake-targets-iskander-missiles-2024-7">ballistic missiles</a>, artillery ammunition, and bombs at the site.The drone attack appeared to trigger powerful blasts, setting the surrounding area ablaze, and forced the local population to evacuate.

Business Insider could not independently verify the video footage."The SBU, together with its colleagues from the Defense Forces, continues to methodically reduce the missile potential of the enemy, with which it destroys Ukrainian cities," the SBU source said, adding that "we are working further to organize a similar 'picture' at other Russian military facilities that are working for the war against Ukraine."Satellite imagery captured by Maxar Technologies of the facility before and after the Ukrainian attack revealed extensive damage to the site and underscored the ensuing fire.<div type="image" title="An image of the Toropets facility on September 7." height="1438" width="1842" msid="113465460" hostid="261" sizebytes="681692"></div><div type="image" title="The facility after the Ukrainian attack on Wednesday." height="1436" width="1838" msid="113465459" hostid="261" sizebytes="207622"></div>Russia's defense ministry said it shot down dozens of Ukrainian drones on Wednesday, although it did not specify where.A former Ukrainian military officer who goes by the social media handle Tatarigami called the Toropets attack "a very significant achievement.""We're likely looking at the loss of thousands of tons of explosive materials, shells, and rockets," they wrote in a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://x.com/Tatarigami_UA/status/1836272432249774197">post</a> on X.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Two Senate Republicans want Congress to step in and avert a shutdown of the nation's railroads.</li><li>Sen. Roger Wicker and Richard Burr want to force the railways and unions into a deal after Friday.</li></ul>As rail workers head towards a potential strike over working conditions within days, some Republicans are aiming to force them into a deal.Currently, unionized railroad workers are in negotiations with carriers for a new contract with an emphasis on better sick leave, with workers prepared to strike on Friday if they do not reach an agreement. A strike could prove expensive, with the business-friendly US Chamber of Commerce <a href="https://www.uschamber.com/security/supply-chain/u-s-chamber-letter-on-railroad-negotiations">estimating</a> a shutdown would cost the economy $2 billion a day.On Wednesday, Sens. Richard Burr of North Carolina and Roger Wicker of Mississippi introduced a <a href="https://www.burr.senate.gov/2022/9/burr-wicker-introduce-resolution-calling-for-adoption-of-biden-administration-rail-recommendations-if-voluntary-agreements-are-not-reached">resolution</a> that would enact recommendations from a presidentially appointed panel aiming to resolve the labor dispute. They want Congress to intervene if the unions do not voluntarily agree to the contract by the end of this week, and pave the way for wage increases — which, as the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2022/09/14/congress-freight-rail-strike/">Washington Post reports</a>, does not touch on workers' demands to stop being penalized for illness or family absences."There are mechanisms that have been in the law for a long time to allow Congress to step in and prevent the economic disaster that would ensue," Wicker said on Wednesday. "I think it's time to invoke that provisional law."Wicker said he was opposed to extending the Friday deadline for a deal. "This has been going on for three years," he said.John Drake, VP of transportation, infrastructure and supply chain policy at the Chamber of Commerce, said in a statement to Insider that the Chamber "welcomes" the resolution. "We need action immediately to avoid a rail shutdown and the economic impacts that would fall on businesses and consumers," Drake said.The White House has been <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/white-house-railroad-worker-strike-democrats-midterms-2022-9">attempting to avert</a> a strike, with the president <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/09/12/railroad-strike-deadline/">reportedly</a> calling both unions and management and the administration getting ready for potential fallout from a shutdown. Meanwhile, Amtrak <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/list-amtrak-cancels-trains-rail-worker-strike-chicago-california-texas-2022-9">has canceled</a> some cross country routes to head off potential strike disruptions."The workers are angry," a labor union spokesperson <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/09/12/large-rail-labor-unions-move-closer-to-a-strike.html">told CNBC</a>. "They want movement on attendance policies and not be afraid to take a sick day or vacation day without the fear of termination. There will be no ratification unless this is addressed."In a <a href="https://twitter.com/LizShuler/status/1570044308362825736">tweet</a>, AFL-CIO president Liz Shuler wrote that "railroading is a demanding, tireless career," and that workers deserve dignity, respect, and quality of life. "It's time to put an end to the corporate greed that's come at the expense of workers' livelihoods for too long," Shuler said.The tides may be shifting toward a strike, with several of the 12 unions involved in bargaining <a href="https://districtlodge19.org/negotiations/pdgc-kyle-loos-release-on-ratification-vote-on-tentative-agreement/">voting down the tentative agreement</a>. A Department of Labor spokesperson said that negotiations will continue to avoid a strike. "Secretary Walsh continues to lead discussions at the Department of Labor between the rail companies and unions. The parties are negotiating in good faith and have committed to staying at the table today," the spokesperson told Insider.The White House seems determined to broker a deal. "This is an issue that can and should be worked out between the rail companies and the unions, not by Congress. In fact, parties are at the table right now," Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters aboard Air Force One earlier on Wednesday.For now, at least one key Democrat wanted to avoid a Congressional intervention. "I've been reaching out to the unions. I think there's gotta be something on sick days and the railroads have to come to the table," Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio told Insider.Brown declined to say whether he'd oppose Wicker's measure, but added the White House is in the driver's seat in negotiations.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>85,000 Kaiser Permanente workers are voting on whether to authorize a strike.</li><li>If the Kaiser strike is authorized, it would be the nation's largest healthcare strike in history.</li></ul><ul class="summary-list"></ul>As this summer — already <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ups-teamsters-union-reach-deal-avoid-strike-contract-pay-2023-7">jam-packed</a> with <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/california-unemployment-benefits-union-workers-strike-hollywood-sag-aftra-wga-2023-8">labor activity</a> — turns to fall, tens of thousands of Kaiser Permanente healthcare workers could find themselves on the picket line.The Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions will conduct a strike authorization vote beginning August 26. The vote will last through mid-September, said Dave Regan, president of the SEIU United Healthcare Workers West, at a press conference on Thursday.If union members vote to strike, the Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions could walk as early as October 1. With 85,000 members in its ranks, it would be the largest healthcare strike in the country's history, organizers say.The <a href="https://www.unioncoalition.org/home/">Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions</a> is a collection of healthcare worker unions at Kaiser Permanente facilities in California, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, DC, Hawaii, Maryland, Virginia, and Washington. Kaiser Permanente is known for providing its patients with both coverage plans and healthcare under the same company.Kaiser Permanente has <a href="https://healthy.kaiserpermanente.org/learn/what-is-kaiser-permanente">hundreds of facilities</a> across the country — including 39 hospitals and 715 medical offices — serving more than 12 million people. The Coalition represents workers in 95% of these facilities, Regan said, meaning more than 11 million Kaiser Permanente users could be affected.The call for a strike authorization vote comes five weeks before their contract with Kaiser Permanente expires. Union leaders say they are calling for <a href="https://www.seiu-uhw.org/kaiser-campaign-updates/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">increased staffing to protect patients</a> and workers alike, a raise in pay differentials for evening and night shifts, and stability for remote workers."If Kaiser does not come correct in the next 45 days or so before the expiration of this agreement, there will be a nationwide strike and that will be something that is avoidable," Regan said. "It would be a tragedy. It is not what this workforce wants to do, but it is what we are being left no choice to do."Wayne Davis, a spokesperson for Kaiser Permanente, told Insider that union members should reject the call to strike."We take any threat to disrupt care for our members seriously and have plans to ensure continued access to healthcare by our members, patients, and the communities we serve, should any union call for a strike," Davis wrote.Union representatives said they understood that a strike would affect patient healthcare but that staffing issues at the company were already negatively affecting patients — and workers. "A strike would cause delays. But do you know what else causes delays in patient care? Not having the staff to treat the patients waiting six months in Colorado for a radiology appointment. That causes delays in care," Caroline Lucas, executive director of the Coalition, said at the press conference. "We would go on strike because we care about fixing those things."The strike would happen on the grounds of unfair labor practices, including Kaiser Permanente's failure to bargain in good faith and failure to provide relevant information as required by law, Regan said.Davis said these reports are "unfounded.""We remain committed to bargaining with our Coalition unions in good faith and in the spirit of partnership," Davis wrote. "We will focus our energy on frank and productive discussions that lead to an agreement, and to doing our part to ensure there are no disruptions to the high-quality care we provide."Organizers say that ever since the COVID-19 pandemic began, healthcare workers have been <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/healthcare-workers-nurses-long-covid-impact-careers-labor-shortage-2022-5">under immense strain because of limited staffing</a> — and it isn't getting better.Liz Grigsby, a respiratory therapist and union member, said memories of patient deaths due to staffing shortages haunt her. She spoke about one patient in particular, a mother battling COVID-19 after giving birth."I made a promise to her to stay by her side to come back and to provide the support she desperately needed, but the painful reality of short staffing prevented me for fulfilling that promise," Grigsby said at the press conference. "When I came back, she already died."Davis says the company has worked with the Coalition to accelerate hiring, and that they have already filled 6,500 positions.Catherine Engler, a licensed vocational nurse and union member, said patients are slipping through the cracks as staffing shortages continue."I lie awake at night wondering if I did everything I'm supposed to for both my family and my patients," Engler said at the press conference. "It scares me that we don't have enough staff. Healthcare workers are leaving the industry because they can't take it anymore, making the existing short-staff crisis worse and hurting our patients."

85,000 healthcare workers are voting to authorize a strike. If they do, it will be the largest healthcare strike the nation has ever seen.

It's part of a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/uber-lyft-driver-pay-protest-valentines-day-gig-economy-california-2024-2">nationwide effort</a> among rideshare drivers trying to bring attention to problems they say they face on the apps, from low pay to having their accounts suddenly deactivated."We're sick of working 80 hours/week just to make ends meet, being constantly scared for our safety, and worrying about being deactivated with the click of a button," Justice for App Workers, a group representing 130,000 rideshare and delivery gig workers, <a target="_blank" href="https://justiceforappworkers.org/join-us-feb-14-valentines-day-airport-strikes/">said on its website</a> about the strike.The strike will target multiple major airports, including Newark Liberty International Airport outside of New York City as well as Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.The Valentine's Day Strike also will affect airports in Austin, Texas; Hartford, Connecticut; Miami; Orlando, Philadelphia; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Providence, Rhode Island; and Tampa, Florida, according to Justice for App Workers. But Uber brushed off concerns about the strike affecting customers."These types of events have rarely had any impact on trips, prices, or driver availability, and we expect the same tomorrow," an Uber spokesperson told Business Insider. "That's because the vast majority of drivers are satisfied," the spokesperson added, citing an estimate that Uber drivers made "about $33 per utilized hour" last quarter.A spokesperson for Lyft pointed to recent changes that the company made for drivers, including guaranteeing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/lyft-earnings-gig-driver-rider-payments-uber-hourly-pay-stock-2024-2">Lyft workers at least 70% of what riders pay.</a> "We are constantly working to improve the driver experience, which is why just this month we released a series of new offers and commitments aimed at increasing driver pay and transparency," the spokesperson said.Groups like Justice for App Workers have organized similar strikes in the US in recent years. But as independent contractors, Uber and Lyft drivers don't have the same protections as full-time employees, including federal and state protections around organizing a union and work stoppages.Gig workers have told BI that <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/golden-age-gig-work-instacart-doordash-delivery-jobs-over-2023-12">making money on apps like Uber, Instacart, Walmart Spark, and DoorDash has gotten harder</a> over the past few years, especially as more people have started working on the apps.It's also common for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-gig-workers-are-fighting-against-sudden-account-deactivations-2023-9">gig workers to have their accounts deactivated</a> without explanation by the companies they work for.Recent laws in cities like New York and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/seattle-gig-worker-new-law-advocate-instacart-job-deactivation-2024-2">Seattle</a> aim to raise pay and offer protections to drivers.Do you work in the gig economy and have a story idea to share?
