Boeing makes a 'final offer' to striking workers, but union says it's not good enough

Boeing's best and final offer to striking machinists includes 30% pay raises over four years, up from 25%. However, the union calls it inadequate.

The International Association of Machinists leaders stated, 'Boeing does not get to decide when or if you vote,' reflecting frustration over Boeing's negotiating tactics.

Boeing argues its new offer makes significant improvements based on union feedback, but the union insists it falls short of their initial demands of 40%.

With strikers losing insurance at month-end, there's increasing financial pressure on workers. Boeing's new offer is contingent on a quick ratification before the week's end.
