US EditionLockheed Martin workers in Orlando strike after contract negotiations fail
- Workers represented by the UAW at Lockheed Martin sites in Orlando, Florida, and Denver, Colorado, launched a strike on May 1, 2025, after rejecting proposed contract terms.
- The strike comes after extended contract talks stalled over the union’s objections to a proposed wage increase timeline that starts at $15 per hour and the removal of paid time off for Veterans Day.
- More than 900 employees, including about 320 in Denver’s Waterton Campus, walked off the job in coordinated actions organized by UAW Locals 766 and 788, asserting unfair labor practices and insufficient wages.
- Union leaders cited Lockheed Martin’s $1.7 billion first-quarter profit in 2025 and $24 billion in profits over three years to argue that the wage offer is not fair for workers in high-cost areas like Denver.
- Lockheed Martin emphasized valuing its employees and expressed hope for a fair labor agreement, while the strike’s impact on operations remains uncertain pending ongoing negotiations.
