Boeing Reaches Tentative Deal With Workers to Avert Strike
Published On Sep 8, 2024, 11:52 AM
Boeing has reached a tentative contract agreement with two unions representing over 33,000 workers. The proposed contract includes a 25% pay increase over four years and improvements in health care and retirement benefits. This contract, if approved by union members, would be Boeing's first full agreement with the unions in 16 years. It aims to avert a strike that could disrupt production. The deal is seen as a significant step for Boeing, particularly under the new CEO, Kelly Ortberg, following recent quality and safety concerns regarding their aircraft.
