Boeing Fighter Jet Workers Go On Strike After Rejecting Contract Offer

More than 3,200 union members who assemble Boeing's fighter jets in the St. Louis area and Illinois went on strike on Monday after rejecting a second contract offer the previous day. Boeing Defense said it was ready for the work stoppage and it will implement a contingency plan that uses non-labor workers. According to the company, the rejected four-year contract would have raised the average wage by roughly 40% and included a 20% general wage increase and a $5,000 ratification bonus. It also included increasing periodic raises, more vacation time and sick leave. "We're disappointed our employees in St. Louis rejected an offer that featured 40% average wage growth," Dan Gillian, Boeing vice president and general manager of the St. Louis facilities, said in a statement. The offer was largely the same as the first offer that was overwhelmingly rejected one week earlier. Members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers' District 837 "deserve a contract that reflects their skill, dedication, and the critical role they play in our nation's defense," District 837 head Tom Boelling said in a statement. Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg downplayed the impact of a strike when talking with analysts on Tuesday about second-quarter earnings, noting that the company had weathered a seven-week strike last year by District 751 members, who build commercial jets in the Northwest and number 33,000. "I wouldn't worry too much about the implications of the strike. We'll manage our way through that," he said. District 837 workers assemble Boeing's F-15 and F/A-18 fighters, the T-7 trainer, and the MQ-25, an aerial refueling drone being developed for the U.S. Navy. Boeing's defense division is expanding manufacturing facilities in the St. Louis area for the new U.S. Air Force fighter jet, the F-47A, after it won the contract this year. District 751's strike ended with approval of a four-year contract that included a 38% wage increase.

Man Sentenced To Life Without Parole For Arkansas Grocery Store Shooting

An Arkansas man who killed four people and injured 11 others last year in a mass shooting at a grocery store was sentenced Monday to life in prison without parole. A state judge sentenced Travis Eugene Posey to four life sentences for each count of capital murder. Posey was also sentenced to 220 years in prison for 11 counts of attempted capital murder. Posey pleaded guilty last month to the shooting, which occurred last summer at the Mad Butcher grocery store in Fordyce, a city of about 3,200 people located 65 miles (104 kilometers) south of Little Rock. Judge Spencer Singleton handed down the sentence after testimony from family members of victims of the shooting during a hearing in Fordyce. Posey has been held without bond since the shooting and previously pleaded not guilty to the same charges. Prosecutors and police have not publicly identified any motive for Posey, who was shot and injured by officers who exchanged fire with him. Police have said he did not appear to have a personal connection to any of the victims.

Fire Forces Passengers To Flee NYC Area Train

Flames leapt from the rails of a New York City area commuter train on Monday morning, filling at least one car with smoke and sending several passengers to the hospital for inhalation after they were evacuated, authorities said. A roughly 30-second video posted to social media by a passenger showed thick smoke on a Port Authority Trans-Hudson train car at the Newport station in Jersey City, New Jersey. People can be heard on the video saying “open the door,” and “easy, easy,” as they eventually disembark. The video then shows bright orange flames rising nearly to the top of the train car from the rails. Thirteen people were treated for smoke inhalation at the scene, nine of whom were transported to the hospital for further evaluation, said the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the train, in a statement. The fire started at 6:19 a.m. on an eastbound train and passengers were evacuated to the platform, the authority said. Service on the affected lines resumed about five hours after the fire was first reported. The incident is being investigated, the authority added. The PATH trains conduct an average of about 165,000 passenger trips daily across the Hudson River from northern New Jersey into Manhattan.

Suspect Remains At Large After Montana Shooting

Authorities say a former US soldier suspected of killing four people at a Montana bar is still at large and believed to be armed. The shooting occurred on Friday morning at The Owl Bar in Anaconda, Montana. Officials say they believe 45-year-old military veteran Michael Paul Brown committed the shooting with a rifle. Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen on Sunday warned residents that Brown could return to the area. Investigators are considering all possible options for Brown's whereabouts. Brown served in the Army and Montana National Guard and has struggled with mental illness for years, family members say.

Tesla Approves Share Award Worth $29 Billion To CEO Elon Musk

Tesla has granted CEO Elon Musk shares worth about $29 billion in a new pay deal aimed at keeping the billionaire entrepreneur at the helm during a crucial pivot from its struggling core auto business to robotaxis and humanoid robots. The company described the "interim award" of the 96 million new shares as a first step, "good faith" payment to honor Musk's more than $50 billion pay package from 2018 that was struck down by a Delaware court last year. Musk can claim the new award if he remains in a top executive role for another two years and a court does not reinstate the 2018 package currently on appeal. He has to hold the shares for five years and can buy them for $23.34 per share, the same as the exercise price of the 2018 award. Tesla will also put to vote a longer-term CEO compensation plan at its annual investor meeting on November 6. The move is meant to keep Musk, the public face of Tesla and architect of its robotaxi strategy, focused on the electric-vehicle maker as it navigates a shift to cybercabs and robotics from its mainstay auto business. It also seems to quell any speculation that the board's patience with Musk could be wearing thin because of the recent tumultuous months, including the CEO's foray into politics. The move to give Musk greater control of the company suggests that directors still see him as best-suited to tackle Tesla's growing list of challenges in the years ahead. Sales have been falling at the company due to its aging vehicle line-up, tough competition and Musk's right-wing political stances that have tarnished its brand. S&P Global Mobility data shared exclusively with Reuters showed on Monday that Tesla's brand loyalty had plunged since Musk endorsed U.S. President Donald Trump last summer. Musk's involvement in politics and his wider business empire, including AI startup xAI, have also sparked concerns about his devotion to Tesla, the main source of his wealth. Musk has threatened to leave unless he gets more control over Tesla. The new stock award will take his Tesla stake, already the largest, to more than 15% from the 12.7% currently, according to Reuters calculations based on data compiled by LSEG. Before Monday's grant, Musk had no active compensation plan and Tesla said he had not received meaningful pay since 2017. With the legal fight over his 2018 package expected to continue, the board said it moved to retain Musk's "extraordinary talent." "While we recognize Elon's business ventures, interests and other potential demands on his time and attention are extensive and wide-ranging... we are confident this award will incentivize Elon to remain at Tesla," said a special committee Tesla formed this year to consider Musk's compensation. It consists of chair Robyn Denholm and independent director Kathleen Wilson-Thompson. The company said it would not record compensation expense for the award as it does not currently expect the performance condition to be "probable of being met." It will re-evaluate and recognize the expense if it determines the award is likely to be met, including after the two-year vesting period. The new shares will also be forfeited or offset if the Delaware courts fully reinstate the 2018 stock award, ensuring there is no "double dip," the special committee said. Investors and analysts welcomed the news, with Tesla shares rising nearly 2% in early trading. The stock has lost a quarter of its value this year, as of last close. "Under normal circumstances, a compensation package in the billions would raise some eyebrows. (But) clearly investors have benefited from Musk's stewardship of Tesla," said Camelthorn Investments adviser Shawn Campbell, who owns Tesla shares. "This stock grant will bind Musk to Tesla for the next two years." The Delaware ruling on Musk's 2018 pay package, the largest in Corporate America, had cited flaws in the board's approval process and unfairness to investors. Musk kicked off an appeal against the order in March, claiming a lower court judge made multiple legal errors in rescinding the record compensation. He has argued that the package resulted in spectacular growth for Tesla and yet was determined by the lower Court of Chancery to be unfair to shareholders, who voted twice to approve the plan. Tesla shares have risen nearly 2,000% over the past decade, far outperforming the around 200% rise in the benchmark S&P 500 index in the same period. "This is simply a repackaged version of what was done years ago and was ruled improper by a judge. It renders the Delaware court decision effectively meaningless," said Charles Elson, founding director of the Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware. "You don't have to incentivize him to stay. If he leaves, he throws away 13% of the company, which is still a huge part of his net worth, said Elson, who had filed amicus briefs supporting the court's decision to void Musk's 2018 award.

Wall Street Rallies and U.S. Stocks Recover Much of Friday's Wipeout

U.S. stocks are rallying to recover more than two thirds of their sharp loss from Friday's wipeout. The S&P 500 rose 1.1% Monday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 426 points, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 1.5%. Gains for Tyson Foods and other companies following profit reports that topped analysts' expectations helped offset a drop for Berkshire Hathaway. This upcoming week may have fewer fireworks on Wall Street than last week, which was punctuated by a disappointingly weak report on the U.S. job market. That raised worries that President Donald Trump’s tariffs may be punishing the economy.
