ST. LOUIS - Members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) Union District 837 have modified their union-proposed offer to Boeing after resuming contract talks with a federal mediator.
Some of 3,200 IAM 837 have been on strike since Aug. 4 as contract negotiations with Boeing have continued to stall between the two sides.
During the strike, IAM 837 members have rejected two offers from Boeing. Boeing’s initial offer was a four-year deal that included a 20 percent raise and $5,000 signing bonuses. The second offer extended to five years, with a 24 percent raise and $4,000 signing bonuses.
In response to Boeing's offers, IAM 837 members created their own proposed offer, featuring increased 401k contributions and improved raises for top of scale members,
