Other Provisions Included, Vote Set For November 4
Workers on strike at Boeing will vote on Monday October 4 on the latest offer from the company. The union representing the workers has endorsed the contract and hopes are high for an approval, but it depends on the workers affirming it in the vote. The provisions represent an improvement over the previous offer, including a 38% wage hike over 4 years, a larger bonus of $12,000 for ratifying the contract, and improvements to retirement plans. The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) told the workers it had extracted all it could from the company.
