Boeing is eager to return to the bargaining table after workers overwhelmingly rejected their tentative proposal, marking the company's first strike in 16 years. The IAM-District 751, representing over 33,000 members, highlighted the strike as a response to stagnant wages, emphasizing that workers are unified in their demands. The company previously offered a wage hike that union members felt was insufficient, leading to a massive 94.6% rejection of the contract.
Union leaders have rallied the workers to show their strength during the strike, urging them to demonstrate their unity on the picket lines, stating, 'Let our presence on the picket lines echo across the country and beyond. We are stronger than ever before, and we won't back down.' This call for solidarity indicates that the workers are committed to fighting for better wages and conditions.
