A week ago, the Union dismissed a preliminary agreement a week ago, which would have given many members 40%to many members of the contract. Members voted on a revised contract on Sunday, which lifted the planning provisions that led to contradictions from rank and file members.
“Iam district 837 members build aircraft and defense systems that protect our country,” said Sam Cycinelli, general vice president of the iam Midwest Terior. “They deserve nothing more than a contract to ensure their safe families and recognize their unmatched experience.”
The strike is the last Boeing blow after six years of huge financial losses and failures in many areas of its business, including the defense and space, which has been influenced by this strike.

It was after the deadly two commercial 737 maximum aircraft accidents and a subsequent 20 -month model.

However, the Boeing Defense, Space and Security Division also registered nearly $ 11 billion from 2021. End by the end of last year. This was mainly due to the pentagon contracts for which the company was responsible for exceeding the cost, including two new Air Force One planes. But so far this year, the unit has been profitable.
St. Louis and St. Charles, Missouri and Mascoutah, Illinois states are building military planes such as F/15 and A-18 fighter jets, T-7A Red Hawk coach and MQ-25 Stingray. The F-47 secret fighter jet, which is the Pentagon’s next-generation fighter anchor, must be built at the Boeing factory in the St. Luis area, although the company has not said which factory will build it or when production will begin. Boeing also owns some neunion factories in the area.
“We are disappointed that our employees have rejected an offer that contained 40% of the average wage growth and solved their main problem with alternative work schedules,” said Dan Gillian, a Boeing CEO and senior Sent Luis, a senior manager. “We are ready for the strike and fully implemented the plan for our unexpected cases to ensure that our continuous labor can continue to support our customers.”
