Boeing Co. Chief Executive Officer Kelly Ortberg moved to patch up relations with workers after a bruising seven-week strike, saying the company would pay employees who were put on mandatory leave during the disruption at its Seattle manufacturing hub.
“As we navigated through the work stoppage, we asked many of you to take a furlough to support our cash conservation efforts,” Ortberg said in a memo to staff. “We want to acknowledge your support by returning your lost pay.”
