On Thursday, October 17, 2025, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) filed an unfair labor practice charge against Boeing with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). The filing alleges that Boeing engaged in actions that violated the National Labor Relations Act, prompting a formal complaint by the union.
The charge comes amid ongoing labor disputes at Boeing, following a recent machinists’ strike that halted production of the 737 MAX, 787, and 767 lines. If the NLRB finds the allegations to be substantiated, Boeing could face penalties or be required to implement corrective measures, potentially disrupting production and delivery schedules.
For investors, the filing introduces uncertainty regarding labor costs and operational continuity. While the outcome is still pending, the charge signals heightened tension between Boeing and its workforce and could influence future negotiations with unions, thereby affecting Boeing’s ability to maintain production momentum and meet customer commitments.
