Boeing Union Endorses Latest Offer to End Crippling Strike
Published On Oct 31, 2024, 7:46 PM
Boeing has reached a tentative agreement with striking workers, which may end a prolonged strike that has severely impacted its commercial airplane production and resulted in significant financial losses. The proposed deal includes a 38% wage increase over four years and a $12,000 signing bonus for each worker. The union leaders have recommended the deal to their members, warning that rejecting it could result in less favorable terms in the future. Boeing has been losing around $100 million per day due to the strike, which has lasted nearly two months and affected production of key aircraft like the 737 Max. If ratified, this agreement could provide a critical turnaround for Boeing's ongoing difficulties.
