Around 3,200 unionized workers at Boeing in Missouri and Illinois will strike after rejecting a modified labor contract. The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District 837 stated that workers build crucial defense systems and deserve a contract that ensures family security and acknowledges their expertise. Boeing expressed disappointment at the contract rejection, which included significant wage increases and addressed work schedule concerns. Workers assemble various military aircraft, including fighter jets, and the previous contract expired on July 27. Boeing is ready for the strike and has contingency plans in place.
"IAM District 837 members build the aircraft and defense systems that keep our country safe. They deserve nothing less than a contract that keeps their families secure and recognizes their unmatched expertise."
"We are disappointed our employees rejected an offer that featured 40% average wage growth and resolved their primary issue on alternative work schedules."
"The union announced that members of District 837 had overwhelmingly voted to reject Boeing's contract offer. The previous contract expired just before midnight on July 27."
"Boeing is prepared for a strike and have fully implemented our contingency plan to ensure our non-striking workforce can continue supporting our customers."
