'Enough is enough': Boeing sees 3,200 workers go on strike as period of labor strife continues
Briefly

Three Boeing manufacturing plants experienced a strike initiated by 3,200 workers after rejecting a modified four-year labor agreement. The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers union announced that workers expressed their discontent, stating, "enough is enough." Prior proposals had included a 20% wage increase over four years. Union leadership emphasized the need for a contract that supports workers and recognizes their skills. Boeing expressed disappointment over the rejection of offers citing a potential 40% average wage growth and prepared contingency plans for ongoing 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.
