Boeing union workers on strike in the St. Louis area voted Friday to approve a union-proposed contract, after overwhelmingly rejecting Boeing\u2019s settlement offer last week.<\/span><\/p>\n

The four-year contract, proposed by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District 837, includes a $10,000 ratification bonus\u00a0 compared to the $4,000 bonus Boeing proposed. It also addresses one of the workers\u2019 biggest concerns \u2013 pay raises for top-of-scale members and 401(k) benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur members stood up with courage and voted for a fair, responsible pathway to end this strike,\u201d said IAM Union International President Brian Bryant <\/span>in a statement Friday<\/span>. \u201cNow, Boeing must honor that decision, accept this deal, and show respect for the skilled workers who are the backbone of its defense business.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The union\u2019s proposed ratification bonus is lower than what the $12,000 Boeing employees in Seattle received last year after a seven-week strike, said Jonathan Battaglia, spokesman for the IAM Union. However, the 401(k) benefits are the same as those Seattle workers received, he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

About 3,200 Boeing workers who assemble advanced aircraft and weapons systems at the company\u2019s facilities in St. Louis, St. Charles and Mascoutah, Ill. have been on strike since Aug. 4.<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Boeing officials called the vote on the union contract a \u201cpublicity stunt\u201d and told workers it was a \u201cwaste of your time.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dan Gillian, Boeing St. Louis vice president of air dominance, said in a statement Friday that the company\u2019s last offer <\/span>would make workers the \u201chighest paid manufacturing employees in the St. Louis area.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe want all 3,200 of you back at work as soon as possible,\u201d Gillian said. \u201cBut that has to happen with a contract that makes sense in the Midwest, not the Pacific Northwest. Our previous offer is far more lucrative than other recently ratified contracts for complex manufacturing work in our region.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He pointed to GE Aerospace and the IAM union in Cincinnati that ratified a five-year contract with general wage increases of 19.5% over five years. Boeing\u2019s last offer was 24% over five years.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gillian said this week that Boeing is open to further discussions, but the \u201coverall economics of our offer will not improve.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Missouri Democratic Congressmen Wesley Bell of St. Louis and Emanuel Cleaver of Kansas City, along with members of the Congressional Labor Caucus, urged Boeing this week to return to the bargaining table.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThese workers\u2014among the most talented in their fields\u2014deliver quality products that serve the entire nation, and the world,\u201d said Bell and Cleaver in a letter to Boeing president and CEO Kelly Ortberg. \u201cIf an agreement is not reached soon, the loss of income, healthcare, and other essential resources could cause hardships not seen since 1997.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Last week, the union workers <\/span>voted to reject<\/span><\/a> Boeing\u2019s settlement second offer that the company touts as offering 45% average wage growth. The workers said that it wasn\u2019t much different than the company\u2019s first offer in August that caused the strike.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chad Stevenson, a plant chairman for the union at the St. Louis facility, told The Independent in August that the company\u2019s offer wouldn\u2019t equally benefit the longtime workers who endured pay freezes when the company\u2019s contracts were \u201clean\u201d over the last several years.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur members took concessions to help this company and continued to produce the same amount and the same quality of work,\u201d said Stevenson, who works as an assembly mechanic. \u201cSo really it was over eight years, top-scale wasn\u2019t raised.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The union\u2019s proposed contract includes an hourly increase for two of the four years, instead of \u201clump sum\u201d amounts that Boeing proposed. Battaglia said employees prefer the $1.50 hourly increase because it \u201cbuilds on each other,\u201d unlike the lump sum.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur members have spoken loudly \u2014 we are ready to return to work once Boeing accepts this agreement,\u201d said IAM District 837 Directing Business Representative Tom Boelling in a union statement Friday. \u201cIt\u2019s up to the company to get our members back to what they do best: building world-class aircraft for our nation\u2019s defense.\u201d<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
