The best it gets? Boeing machinists union urges striking members to vote yes

People in this story

It is time “to lock in these gains and confidently declare victory,” the Boeing machinist union told its striking members after Boeing’s latest contract offer. The deal on the table includes 38% pay raises over four years, just shy of the 40% union members demanded and much higher than the 25% the company started negotiations at.

Boeing’s latest offer also quadruples the original ratification bonus to $12,000 and comes with a strong 401(k) company match. District 751 members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers will vote on the contract Monday, Nov. 4.

Thirty-three thousand machinists have been on strike for seven weeks, fighting for better pay and retirement benefits. The strike is costing Boeing $1 billion for every month they’re off the job, which is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Boeing’s financial troubles
