Boeing Workers Set to Vote on Labor Deal as Potential Strike Looms

2024-09-12 68

Boeing workers are set to vote on a new labor contract on Thursday, which could lead to a strike if the deal is rejected. The tentative agreement offers a 25% wage increase, enhanced healthcare, and retirement benefits. Boeing also committed to build its next aircraft in Seattle. IAM initially sought a 40% raise, but the 25% increase aligns with recent labor agreements in other industries. If rejected, a strike could start at midnight on Friday, risking Boeing’s production ramp-up plans. CEO Kelly Ortberg urged workers to consider the company's future in their decision.
