Boeing said Monday it made a “best and final offer” to striking machinists, but the workers' union said the proposal isn't good enough and there won't be a ratification vote before Boeing's deadline.
Boeing workers wave picket signs as they strike after union members voted to reject a contract offer, Sunday, Sept. 15, 2024, near the company's factory in Everett, Wash.
“Boeing does not get to decide when or if you vote,” leaders of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers district 751 told members Monday night. “The company has refused to meet for further discussion; therefore, we will not be voting” on Friday, as Boeing insisted.
The strikers face their own financial pressure to return to work. They received their final paychecks last week and will lose company-provided health insurance at the end of the month, according to Boeing. Boeing said average annual pay for machinists would rise from $75,608 now to $111,155 at the end of the four-year contract.
