WASHINGTON—Boeing and its striking Seattle-area workers have reached a tentative deal to end a more than month-long stoppage, the union said Saturday.
Boeing confirmed a tentative deal was reached and said it includes a 35 percent pay raise over four years and a one-time signing bonus of $7,000.
Union members will vote Wednesday on the proposal. The strike began September 13 in a dispute over pay and other compensation issues, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers said on social media platform X in a message to its members.
“It warrants presenting to the members and is worthy of your consideration,” IAM Union District 751 said.
The strike by some 33,000 unionized workers, mainly in Washington state, halted work at two Seattle-area assembly plants and production of its 737 MAX planes.
The workers were seeking hefty wage hikes and other gains, complaining of more than a decade of near-flat wages amid inflation. AFP
