This is about respect, this is about addressing the past, and this is about fighting for our future, said Jon Holden, who headed the negotiations for the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM). He emphasized that workers felt their demands were overlooked—specifically the need for fair wages and job security, especially when executives are making considerable salaries, which adds to their discontent regarding the company's recovery narrative.
Boeing workers voted overwhelmingly to reject the tentative agreement and strike, expressing dissatisfaction with the pay and benefits offered. Union leaders highlighted that while workers are expected to make sacrifices for the company’s recovery, executive salaries remain high. This contradiction speaks volumes about the workers' feelings of underappreciation and demands for a commitment that matches their contributions to Boeing's success.
