Boeing and workers reach tentative deal to end strike

 

BOEING and its striking Seattle-area workers have reached a tentative deal to end a more than month-long stoppage, the union said Saturday.

Boeing confirmed a tentative deal was reached and said it includes a 35 percent pay raise over four years and a one-time signing bonus of $7,000.

Unionmembers will vote Wednesday on the proposal. The strike began 13 September in a dispute over pay and other compensation issues, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers said on social media platform X in a message to its members.

A strike by 33,000 IAM Union District 751 workers in Washington state halted production at two Seattle-area Boeing plants, significantly affecting the 737 MAX assembly. — AFP
