Monday's vote on a new labor deal will be their third since September and marks the company's fourth offer.that has halted most of the struggling company's airplane production, another curve ball in what executives had once cast as Boeing's turnaround year.Workers have complained about the skyrocketing cost of living in the Seattle area, where most of Boeing's aircraft are produced.
But the union, upon unveiling the proposal last Wednesday, warned this deal might be as good as workers are going to get."In every negotiation and strike, there is a point where we have extracted everything that we can in bargaining and by withholding our labor," the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District 751 said in a statement."We are at that point now and risk a regressive or lesser offer in the future.
"I know the strike has been difficult for you as well as for our customers, suppliers, communities and all who work at Boeing," he said in a staff note on Friday."It's time we all come back together and focus on rebuilding the business and delivering the world's best airplanes. There are a lot of people depending on us.
