Boeing’s new chief executive Kelly Ortberg has pleaded with workers to not go on strike as it would put the company’s “recovery in jeopardy”.<\/p>\n

It comes hours ahead of a crucial union vote that could trigger industrial action at the embattled company.<\/p>\n

The aviation giant’s executives and union representatives reached a deal earlier this week that includes a 25% pay rise over four years but it has yet to be approved by union members.<\/p>\n

If workers vote against the agreement it would lead to a second ballot on whether to start a strike as early as Friday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“I ask you not to sacrifice the opportunity to secure our future together, because of the frustrations of the past,” said Mr Ortberg in his message to staff.<\/p>\n

“Working together, I know that we can get back on track, but a strike would put our shared recovery in jeopardy”.<\/p>\n

The current contract between Boeing and the unions was reached in 2008 after an eight-week strike.<\/p>\n

In 2014, the two sides agreed to extend the deal, which is due to expire at midnight on Thursday.<\/p>\n

It comes as the company faces deepening financial losses and continues to struggle to repair its reputation following recent incidents and two fatal accidents five years ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
