Boeing union hits out over ‘final’ 30% pay rise offer

The coalition representing hundreds of Boeing staff has criticized its “best and last” give present, which proposed a 30 % increase over the course of four years.

Additionally, the efficiency reward was reinstated as well as improved retirement benefits.

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers ( IAM ) claimed that the union and the company did not agree on anything and that it was simply thrown at us without discussion.

After rejecting a 25 % give raise sell, over 30 000 Boeing employees began a strike earlier this month.

Boeing now made its best and final present, according to the aircraft manufacturing company’s letter to union officials.

The proposal doubles the value of a one-off bonus for signing a new pay deal to$ 6, 000 ( £4, 497 ).

Boeing stated that the offer must be approved by union members by midnight Pacific Time on Friday, September 27 ( 7am GMT on Saturday, September 28 ).

IAM claimed that Boeing did not inform the government’s representatives and instead sent the new provide to union members and the press.

“This tactic is a blatant show of disrespect to you – our members – and the bargaining process,” IAM said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Additionally, the coalition stated that it would not hold a ballot of its members before Boeing’s date.

Boeing has been asked by BBC News to provide a statement on IAM’s response to its fresh give offer.

After rejecting a new contract that included a 25 % give raise over the course of four times, Boeing employees decided to go on strike on September 13.

The union had originally aimed for a number of changes to employees ‘ items, including a 40 % pay rise.

About 95 % of the union users- who produce planes including the 737 Max and 777- voted to accept Boeing’s first offer.

Of those who voted, 96 % backed hit motion until a novel deal could be reached.

The hit is expected to cost Boeing billions of dollars, furthering the issue at a business that is already facing significant difficulties.

The business and the wider US economy are now feeling the effects, as Boeing has stopped shipments of the majority of its parts and taken another cost-saving measures.

The business has previously suspended the employment of tens of thousands of employees.

Additionally, it has been stated that US-based executives, managers, and team members will be required to take a year of leave every four days for as long as the strike lasts.

State officials are now assisting in the mediation of the conflict.
