US EditionBoeing defense workers on strike in the Midwest reject the company’s latest contract offer
- At three Midwest Boeing plants on Sunday, IAM District 837 members rejected the latest offer and voted to continue the strike, now in its nearly three-month duration.
- Negotiations had stalled after workers rejected an earlier proposed five-year agreement with a 20% wage hike, and IAM District 837 said the latest offer lacked meaningful improvements for workers with more seniority.
- Boeing said its offer included a 75 percent increase in bonuses and a 45 percent rise in wage growth and industry benefits, but later removed a scheduling provision affecting overtime.
- About 3,200 machinists are on strike at Midwest plants, threatening Boeing's recovery as its Defense, Space & Security business accounts for over one-third of revenue.
- IAM President Brian Bryant said the local vote showed 51 percent against, accusing Boeing corporate executives of insulting workers, and the company will issue a statement.
