Boeing machinists hold contract vote that could end their 7-week strike
Unionized factory workers at Boeing are voting on Monday whether to accept a contract offer or to continue their strike. The walkout has lasted more than seven weeks, shut down production of most Boeing passenger planes and cut off a key source of cash for the company. A Seattle-based district of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers is recommending that its members approve the Boeing offer, which would raise pay rates by 38% over four years. Workers also would receive ratification and productivity bonuses. However, Boeing didn’t meet their demand to restore a pension plan that was frozen nearly a decade ago.
Striking Boeing workers set to vote on latest offer
Striking workers at Boeing will vote Monday on the aerospace giant's latest contract proposal to end a bruising walkout that has dragged on for more than seven weeks. Mike Corsetti, a quality inspector who has worked at Boeing for 13 years, said he was again leaning against the latest offer after voting down the previous proposals.
