Despite a tentative contract that offered double-digit pay raises and improved benefits, 95% of Boeing workers rejected it, opting instead for a strike to secure better terms.
Boeing's first strike since 2008 involves thousands of workers in Seattle and Portland, contributing to potential disruptions in the production of commercial planes.
With 33,000 employees covered by the rejected contract, the unions initially sought 40 percent raises, primarily to compensate for previous concessions concerning pension benefits.
The unions' rejection of the contract highlights a strong collective determination among Boeing's workforce to advocate for better wages and working conditions moving forward.
