Boeing Union Rejects "Final" Offer of 30% Pay Rise Over Four Years

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), representing over 30,000 Boeing workers, has criticized Boeing's "final" pay offer of a 30% wage increase over four years. The new proposal, which includes bonuses and retirement benefits, was rejected by the union, which claimed Boeing presented the offer without negotiation. Boeing denies this, stating it has bargained in good faith since March. The strike, which began after workers rejected a 25% raise, continues as the union pushes for a 40% increase. The strike is significantly impacting Boeing’s production and could cost the company billions.
