St. Louis machinists will vote on a modified contract proposal from Boeing on Sunday.

The announcement came one day after union leadership refused to bring the contract to members for a vote.

A Boeing spokeswoman said in an email that the union’s bargaining committee changed course after discussions Thursday.

“We’ve said it many times, and we’ll say it again: We will not vote on an insulting offer,” the union’s bargaining committee said on Wednesday.

The contract adds to the wage increase for top-paid employees but cuts down on attendance additives.

Sunday’s vote will be held from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. at IAM District 9 in Bridgeton.
