(Reuters) – The Republican governors of Utah, Missouri and Montana on Tuesday urged Boeing and the union representing 33,000 striking machinists to end a nearly seven-week old strike citing the impact to their states and to the planemaker’s suppliers.
Separately, Ihssane Mounir, senior vice president of global supply chain for Boeing’s commercial airplanes unit, told suppliers in an email Tuesday seen by Reuters that the planemaker will need to continue a pause on shipping components for the 737, 767 and 777 programs.
“We understand this may drive you to take additional and difficult actions for your production schedules as well as for your teams,” Mounir wrote.
