The work stoppage began after 95% of IAM District 751's workers voted to reject Boeing's proposed contract. The strike authorization received 96% support.
"We're fighting for the future of Boeing," proclaimed the union, emphasizing the necessity to safeguard the families of their workers amid rejected contract terms.
IAM District 751's President described the rejected contract as falling short of their demands, despite a proposed 25% raise over four years and reduced healthcare costs.
Boeing's last strike in 2008 lasted 57 days, and previous agreements involved concessions that resulted in increased healthcare costs and loss of traditional pension programs.
