Workers reject Boeing’s latest offer after nearly three months on strike
Striking workers at Boeing Defense in the St. Louis area rejected the company’s latest contract proposal on Sunday, sending a strike that has already delayed delivery of fighter jets and other programs into its 13th week.
In a statement after the vote, union leadership said the company had failed to address the needs of the roughly 3,200 members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) District 837.
“Boeing claimed they listened to their employees – the result of today’s vote proves they have not,” IAM International President Brian Bryant said in a statement.
