After seven weeks on strike, Boeing workers voted Monday to ratify a new contract that includes a 43.65% wage increase over four years - a significant improvement over the 25% increase that the aerospace giant offered in September.
Through this strike and the resulting victory, frontline workers at Boeing have done their part to begin rebalancing the scales in favor of the middle class - and in doing so, we hope to inspire other workers in our industry and beyond to continue standing up for justice at work.
Strikes work," labor journalist Kim Kelly wrote in response to the contract vote.
Livable wages and benefits that can support a family are essential - not optional - and this strike underscored that reality.
