The seven-week strike among factory workers at American Boeing may soon be over – if the union accepts the new offer.
According to the employer’s new offer, wages would be increased by 38 percent over four years – slightly higher than the previous offer of a total 35 percent wage increase over four years, which the employees rejected. Before that, they had also voted no to an earlier, even lower offer. According to the union, members will vote on the new bid on Monday.
A strong reason for giving the thumbs down to previous proposals is that the company refuses to reinstate a previous pension plan, which was scrapped 10 years ago, Boeing employees have told the AP.
Around 33,000 factory workers have been on strike since September 13. The strike has hit the already financially strained aircraft manufacturer hard, which is estimated to be losing upwards of a billion dollars a month.
