Boeing and the machinists union have come to a tentative agreement on a new proposal to potentially end the weeks-long strike.
More than 33,000 members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) at Boeing locations in Washington, Oregon, and California have been on strike since September 13.
IAM District 751 and W24 members received details of the new proposal from Boeing on Saturday, October 19. IAM District 751 first shared the news with members early Saturday morning, saying, “With the help of Acting U.S. Secretary of Labor Julie Su, we have received a negotiated proposal and resolution to end the strike, and it warrants presenting to the members and is worthy of your consideration.”
Members will vote on whether to accept the proposal on Wednesday, October 23. According to IAM District 751, details of the potential strike settlement — including the date on which workers would return to work if the vote passes — will be part of the vote.
