Striking Boeing workers approve labor deal, ending 101-day-long walkout
Striking workers at Boeing Defense’s St. Louis-area facilities voted to approve the company’s latest contract offer on Thursday, union officials said, ending a 101-day strike that has hampered production of fighter jets and other programs.
The roughly 3,200 members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) District 837 voted 68% in favor of approving the five-year contract. They will start returning to work as early as Sunday.
