Boeing is behind on deliveries of the F-15EX fighter due to the ongoing strikes by union members in the St. Louis area. The strike has been going on for nearly three months, and the manufacturer has tried to remedy the situation by hiring permanent replacement workers to support its operations.

Boeing’s St. Louis facility is responsible for the production of various military aircraft, including the F-15 , F/A-18, T-7 trainer, and the MQ-25 military drone. The plant also supports the Boeing 777X program. The planemaker and its workers, represented by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) District 837 Union, have been in disagreement over wages. It is unclear how long the strikes will last.
