Nearly 3,200 Boeing workers who build fighter jets are now on strike
Briefly

Around 3,200 Boeing workers from facilities in St. Louis, St. Charles, and Mascoutah began a strike after rejecting a modified labor agreement. This followed a previous denial of another proposal that included a significant wage increase. Union leaders emphasized the importance of securing a contract that acknowledges the workers' expertise and provides family security. Boeing's management expressed disappointment in the rejection, stating the offer included substantial wage growth and additional benefits. The company is implementing a contingency plan to continue operations during the strike.
3,200 highly-skilled IAM Union members at Boeing went on strike at midnight because enough is enough. They deserve nothing less than a contract that keeps their families secure and recognizes their unmatched expertise.
We're disappointed our employees rejected an offer that featured 40% average wage growth and resolved their primary issue on alternative work schedules.
