Boeing Workers Accept New Pay Deal to End 7-Week Strike
ai generated text
Boeing employees have accepted a new contract proposal, effectively ending a seven-week strike. The agreement was ratified by a vote of 59%, with 33,000 workers returning to their jobs at two major assembly plants in the Seattle area. The new contract does not appear to meet the union's original demands for a 40% wage increase and the reinstatement of a defined-benefit pension that was lost a decade ago.
Good contracts benefit workers, businesses, and consumers – and are key to growing the American economy from the middle out and the bottom up.
While the past few months have been difficult for all of us, we are all part of the same team. We will only move forward by listening and working together. There is much work ahead to return to the excellence that made Boeing an iconic company.

The strike will end and now it's our job to get back to work and start building the airplanes, increase the rates and bring this company back to financial success.
This is a victory. We can hold our heads high.
