Union says striking Boeing workers not interested in latest contract offer
) U.S. factory workers said late on Tuesday a survey showed members were overwhelmingly against the planemaker's latest pay proposal, which it described as its"best and final".
Nearly 95% rejected Boeing's offer of a 25% pay rise over four years, leading to the strike. An improved proposal announced by Boeing on Monday would lift the pay gain to 30% and restore a performance bonus, but the union said a survey of its members found that was not enough. Boeing, which did not immediately comment, put forward the latest offer on Monday without negotiating with the union on it beforehand. The union declined to put it to an immediate vote, saying it would survey its members before deciding.
"It's not a great thing for Boeing to say this is our final offer and then fairly quickly reverse," said Harry Katz, a professor of collective bargaining at Cornell University’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations.Katz said workers feeling the pinch of missing wages should consider Boeing's latest offer, which he called solid.
