Boeing Workers Launch Strike Over Rejected Pay Deal

ai generated text

Boeing workers on the West Coast of the United States have gone on strike after rejecting a pay offer from the company. Approximately 33,000 union members, represented by the International Association of Machinists (IAM), voted to reject the contract, with 94.6% of members opposing the deal. The proposed contract would have increased pay by 25% over four years. Despite Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg's plea to workers not to strike, the union members voted in favor of a strike, which began on Friday at midnight Pacific time. The strike will halt production of the 737 Max, a major setback for the company, which is already facing deepening financial losses.

    1. Across corporate America, so much of the wealth has wound up in the hands of so few people.
    2. Large corporations have increasingly prioritised their own profits and shareholders at the expense of workers. It is crucial that Boeing behaves as a responsible steward for its employees, so that every employee at their company is respected with fair wages and working conditions.

    1. We believe that they need to negotiate in good faith and work towards an agreement that gives employees benefits that they deserve. It would make the company stronger as well.

    1. And we are ready to get back to the table to reach a new agreement.
    2. For Boeing, it is no secret that our business is in a difficult period, in part due to our own mistakes in the past. Working together, I know that we can get back on track, but a strike would put our shared recovery in jeopardy, further eroding trust with our customers and hurting our ability to determine our future together.
