BERKELEY, Mo. - On the same day Boeing holds a job fair to replace striking St. Louis workers, the striking union is asking members to approve a “counteroffer.”

The strike is now hitting its 7th week, and it's starting to hurt businesses outside of Boeing, including a family-owned restaurant.

More than 3,200 members of I-A-M District 837 have been walking the picket line for more than six weeks.

On Friday, they'll vote on a four-year contract proposal put forward by their union after Boeing declined to improve an earlier deal.

“I think it will pass, but I think we deserve more. It’s a back-and-forth communication. Hopefully Boeing communicates with this; all they have been saying is, ‘We are demanding more and more,’” said Brandon Killbrew, a union member.

Thanks for signing up!
