Boeing Saint -Lewis’s defense workers are scheduled to reject the last offer

The International Mechanics Federation and the Space Workers Union said that the members of the Federation who gather with Boeing fighter planes, St. Louis, have rejected the last decade of Planemaker on Sunday and will strike in the middle of the night on Monday.

“IAM District 837 members deserves a contract that reflects their skill and dedication and the crucial role they play in the defense of our nation,” said Tom Bolling, a federation representative in the Federation.

Boeing said he was ready to work. “We are ready for a strike and we have completely implemented our entire emergency plan,” said Vice President and Director General of General Manager Dan Jillian in an email statement.

“We were disappointed with the hope of our employees in Saint -Louis, a 40 % wage growth,” he added.

The original proposal of Boeing included a 20 % increase in public wages over a period of four years and a bonus of ratification of $ 5,000, in addition to more leave and satisfactory leave. Al -Ittihad rejected the offer, saying it was not enough.

Last week, Boeing sent a new offer to the Federation with some changes in simple compensation that would benefit the major members of the union, according to the company. The presentation also remained the current additional work policies, which Boeing suggested amending the last decade’s offer.

Workers collect combat aircraft in Boeing and MQ-25, which is a drone for air refueling that is developed for the American Navy.

Boeing Defense Department expands manufacturing facilities in the St. Louis area to fight the new US Air Force, F-47A, after winning this year.

The next strike by the Federation, which represents 3,200 employees, will be much smaller than Boeing’s injury last fall, when 33,000 mechanics came out in the Boeing Commercial Aircraft division for about two months. This strike ended with the approval of a four -year contract that included an increase in wages by 38 %.
