The strike comes after the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers announced that 94.6% of union members voted to reject a proposed contract from Boeing. The deal would've included a 25% pay raise over four years, much lower than the requested 40%.
This is expected to halt the production of aircraft in Washington state, where most of the union members are located.

“Samsung and its largest labor coalition are sitting down for government-mediated negotiations over the next two days, with just 10 days remaining before a planned general strike that threatens to shut down the world's biggest memory chip operation for more than two weeks”
“The union has warned it will walk out from May 21st through June 7th if the talks fail, and with roughly 73,000 members now enrolled, estimates put expected participation at 30,000 to 40,000 workers.”
South Korean Labor Minister Kim Young-hoon says that "the solution may already be close,"
“but as of 3 p.m. local time, no deal had reportedly been reached.
The union has warned that the strike could create a shortfall of some $20.4 billion”

On November 23, 1909, more than twenty thousand Jewish Yiddish-speaking immigrants, mostly young women in their teens and early twenties, launched an eleven-week general strike in New York’s shirtwaist industry. Dubbed the Uprising of the 20,000, it was the largest strike by women to date in American history. The young strikers’ courage, tenacity, and solidarity forced the predominantly male leadership in the “needle trades” and the American Federation of Labor to revise their entrenched prejudices against organizing women. The strikers won only a portion of their demands, but the uprising sparked five years of revolt that transformed the garment industry into one of the best-organized trades in the United States.
