Acting U.S. Labor Secretary Julie Su encouraged Boeing workers and management to reach a fair contract, emphasizing collective bargaining and the importance of worker priorities in negotiations.
Boeing's unionized workers are set to vote on their first new contract in 16 years, with key demands focusing on job security and guarantees regarding future aircraft programs.
The IAM's Jody Bennett highlighted that the lack of assurance for the future airplane program in Washington state is a significant hurdle in negotiations, stating, 'It's definitely an obstacle to getting an agreement.'
As Boeing seeks to ramp up 737 MAX production amid challenges, collective negotiations will dictate the workers' next steps, including the potential for a strike if tensions persist.
