Boeing workers will vote on proposal that could end strike, union says

Must read

(Reuters) – A union representing striking machinists at Boeing said Saturday that members will vote Wednesday on a “negotiated proposal” that could end a more than month-old strike.

Around 33,000 of Boeing’s unionized West Coast workers, most in Washington state, have been on strike since Sept. 13. The work stoppage has halted production of the planemaker’s best-selling 737 MAX and its 767 and 777 widebodies.

International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local 751 said on Saturday in a social media post that with the help of Acting U.S. Secretary of Labor Julie Su they had received a proposal, telling striking workers it “is worthy of your consideration.”
