Textron Expresses Disappointment Over Strike

Textron Is NOT Having A Good Week

After weeks of wrangling, Textron finds itself at the helm of a company at a standstill. And they're not happy about it. 

Textron Aviation's Stephanie Harder, VP of Communications and Public Affairs, opines, "Textron Aviation is disappointed that IAM District 70, Local Lodge 774 members did not vote to accept the proposed four-year contract with Textron Aviation and have chosen to strike. The contract offer, which took six weeks of thoughtful and good-faith negotiations by both the Union and the company negotiating committees, provided a plan that aimed to protect the future of all Textron Aviation employees and the Wichita community. 

No one benefits from a strike, and the company has made every effort to avoid one. However, as would be expected of any responsible business, the company has prepared for this scenario to ensure the business continues to operate for customers. 

Textron Aviation is as committed as ever to collaborating and agreeing upon a contract with the IAM that acknowledges employees’ contributions and sets all up for long-term success."

Negotiations continue but the long wait for a number of aircraft, especially Citations, is likely to get longer... maybe, much longer.
