BOEING STRIKE MAY BE OVER

Bob Walsh

 

Boeing workers wave picket signs as they strike after union members voted to reject a contract offer, Sept. 15, 2024, near the company's factory in Everett, Wash. The company on Monday made what it called its "best and final" contract offer to striking machinists. 

 

Boeing has made an offer that the union is looking at very seriously.  It offers, among other things, a 35% pay raise over a number of years.  They have already been out about one month, which is a 8 1/2% pay cut for the current year.  I suspect they will go for it, if nothing else because people get nervous being out of work as Christmas approaches.  But I could be wrong.  I have been wrong before.  The last time was in March of 2019.  I thought I had been wrong about something, but it turned out I wasn't.
