<h1>Aerospace Manufacturer Faces Second Major Labor Strike Amid Safety and Legal Challenges</h1> A major US aerospace manufacturer faces a second labor strike within a year, involving over 3,000 unionized workers at multiple plants, disrupting production amid efforts to restore its reputation after a series of crises. The company has been under scrutiny following fatal crashes linked to a flight-control system, leading to global grounding of a key aircraft model, leadership changes, and federal investigations. It pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud the government by misleading regulators on pilot-training standards and agreed to pay over $1.1 billion, including compensation for victims' families, avoiding criminal prosecution that could affect its federal contracting status. Recent safety incidents and leadership turnover continue to challenge the company as it navigates labor disputes and regulatory pressures.
