Boeing strikers not interested in 30% pay rise - union
25sep2024
The union representing thousands of striking Boeing workers says a survey of its members shows they are "not interested" in the aviation giant's latest pay offer.
"Many comments expressed that the offer was inadequate," the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) said in a post on X.
It comes after Boeing made a new offer earlier this week to striking workers, which proposed a 30% pay rise over four years.
On Monday, Boeing made what it called its "best and final" pay offer, which included the reinstatement of a performance bonus, improved retirement benefits and a one-off $6,000 (£4,470) bonus for signing a new pay deal.
The company said the offer was dependent on it being ratified by union members by midnight pacific time on Friday 27 September (7:00 GMT on Saturday 28 September).
However, IAM said Boeing had sent the new offer directly to union members and the media without telling the union's representatives.
It also said the company's deadline did not give it enough time to organise a vote by its members.
Boeing denied that it had not informed IAM representatives about the offer, and said it would give the union more time, as well as logistical support, to ballot its members.
