Boeing Workers Vote to End Seven-Week Strike with New Pay Deal

Boeing workers have voted to end a seven-week strike after accepting a new contract that includes a 38% pay increase spread over four years. The strike, which began on September 13th, marked one of the most costly work stoppages in recent history, severely impacting Boeing’s production and financial standing. According to the International Association of Machinists (IAM), 59% of members voted in favor of the agreement, which also includes a one-time bonus of $12,000. In a statement from the workers union, they said “In every negotiation and strike, there is a point where we have extracted everything that we can in bargaining and by withholding our labor. We are at that point now and risk a regressive or lesser offer in the future.”

 The deal, agreed upon on November 4th, grants union members an immediate raise, with scheduled increases of 9% each year for the next two years and 7% in the final year. Despite securing these gains, the contract does not reinstate the traditional pension plan that workers lost in 2014, a sticking point for many who had previously rejected Boeing’s offers. Union leader Jon Holden praised members for their determination but acknowledged the absence of pension restoration, stating, “It’s a righteous fight that we’ll continue.”

 Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg expressed relief at the strike’s end, describing the need for collaboration. “While the past few months have been difficult for all of us, we are all part of the same team,” he said. The strike’s end is critical for Boeing, whose estimated losses of $6.5 billion underscore the toll of halted production and delayed jet deliveries to airlines. With workers set to return to their jobs by November 12th, the company aims to recover its operational momentum.

 The White House showed concern over the strike, with Acting U.S. Labor Secretary Julie Su joining negotiations last month. Her involvement underscored the economic significance of Boeing, a major U.S. exporter whose supply chain spreads across all 50 states. Analysts estimate the strike’s impact on the broader U.S. economy is over $11.5 billion, affecting Boeing’s suppliers and airline operations nationwide.

 As Boeing looks to rebuild, its focus remains on restoring financial stability amid a challenging period marked by recent job cuts and credit downgrades.
