As Boeing navigates turbulent times, the company confirmed the production of its 737 MAX planes has resumed in its Renton factory.
As Boeing navigates turbulent times, the company confirmed the production of one of its most popular planes has resumed. KIRO Newsradio reached out to the aircraft giant on Tuesday, asking if production on its 737 MAX planes was back on track.
Boeing said it has used the last several weeks for training and certification, along with “ensuring parts and tools are ready, and completing work on airplanes in inventory to prepare for the resumption of production at pre-work stoppage levels.”The company said the backlog for its 737 MAX planes in the Renton factory is 4,218, which includes its 4,204 737 MAX orders. Boeing added the backlog across all sites and commercial products tallies 5,499.
In its statement, the International Association of Machinists 751 and Aerospace Workers stated this new contract “ A 38% general wage increase over four years — with 13% coming in Year 1 — is included for the union workers in the Boeing proposal. Years 2 and 3 would see a 9% increase. Finally, the fourth year would include a 7% raise. The union noted this compounds to 43.65% over the life of the agreement.However, the new contract did not spare layoffs for thousands of workers.
