Boeing says it has a deal to avoid a strike by more than 30,000 machinists

A Boeing machinist and union member led cheers during a meeting at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, showing solidarity in their negotiations for a new contract. After reaching an agreement with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, Boeing announced pay raises of 25% over four years for its 33,000 workers, along with other benefits. The proposed contract also includes building Boeing’s next plane in Washington state, providing job security for workers. The union is recommending members ratify the contract before a strike deadline. The new CEO, Kelly Ortberg, aims to turn around Boeing’s financial struggles and improve relations with the union.
