Boeing fighter jet workers go on strike after rejecting contract offer with pay raises

More than 3,200 union members who assemble Boeing's fighter jets in the St. Louis, Mo., area and Illinois went on strike on Monday after rejecting a second contract offer the previous day. Boeing Defense said it was ready for the work stoppage and it will implement a contingency plan that uses non-labor workers. According to the company, the rejected four-year contract would have raised the average wage by roughly 40% and included a 20% general wage increase and a $5,000 ratification bonus. It also included increasing periodic raises, more vacation time and sick leave. Advertisement Striking Boeing workers at the company's plant in Berkeley, Mo., early Monday.

Boeing St. Louis defense workers set to strike after rejecting latest offer

Union members who assemble Boeing's fighter jets in the St. Louis area rejected the U.S. planemaker's latest contract offer on Sunday and will strike at midnight on Monday, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers union said. 'IAM District 837 members … deserve a contract that reflects their skill, dedication, and the critical role they play in our nation's defense,' the union's Business Representative Tom Boelling said. Boeing said it was ready for the action. 'We are prepared for a strike and have fully implemented our contingency plan,' Boeing Air Dominance vice president and general manager Dan Gillian said in an emailed statement to Reuters.

The union had rejected the offer, saying it was insufficient.

The offer also kept current overtime policies, which Boeing had proposed modifying in the last contract offer.

That strike ended with approval of a four-year contract that included a 38% wage increase.
