Boeing struggles in its COVID recovery

The recovery has yet to arrive at Boeing. In its first-quarter 2021 earnings, the aerospace manufacturer revealed a net loss of $561 million or $0.92 per share, its sixth consecutive quarterly loss. Boeing’s loss from operations was $83 million, its operating margin was -0.5%, and its operating cash flow was negative $3.4 billion.

According to Boeing, the loss was mainly driven by lower deliveries of the company’s 787 jet, partially offset by more deliveries of the company’s 737. The company delivered 77 planes in the first quarter for $4.3 billion in revenue, but lost $856 million in operating costs to deliver an operating margin of -20.1%.

SCHAUMBURG - The White House announced that President Biden will nominate Doug Parker, current chief of California’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA), to serve as Assistant Secretary of Labor for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

​Parker had recently served on Biden’s transition team and previously for the Obama Administration. Biden is still considering whether to issue an emergency temporary standard (ETS) to create a set of enforceable, COVID-19-related workplace safety regulations.

Notably, Parker helped craft the California ETS, which compared to parallel regulations out of Michigan, Oregon, and Virginia, is considered the most burdensome for employers. More
