Boeing Workers Extend Strike After Rejecting Latest Contract Offer

ai generated text

Boeing workers have been on strike since September 13, with 33,000 hourly workers from the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers union participating. The strike was sparked by the rejection of the company's latest contract offer, which included a 35% wage hike but did not reinstate a pension plan. Workers are seeking a 40% wage increase to make up for years of slow salary growth. The strike has halted activity at two Seattle-area factories, with the company's new CEO, Kelly Ortberg, announcing plans to "fundamentally transform the culture" inside the company.

    1. Ten years of holding workers back unfortunately cannot be undone quickly or easily, but we will continue to negotiate in good faith until we have made gains that workers feel adequately make up for what the company took from them in the past.
    2. This is workplace democracy -- and also clear evidence that there are consequences when a company mistreats its workers year after year.

    1. After 10 years of sacrifices, we still have ground to make up, and we're hopeful to do so by resuming negotiations promptly.
