(Reuters) - Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg urged 33,000 striking workers on Friday to vote to accept a new four-year contract deal that includes a 38% pay hike that would end a seven-week work stoppage.

"Itโ€™s time we all come back together and focus on rebuilding the business and delivering the worldโ€™s best airplanes. There are a lot of people depending on us," Ortberg said in an email to workers.

The improved contract offer includes a 38% pay rise over four years, up from a prior 35% hike. Workers are set to vote on Monday.
