Deep dives
Boeing Workers Strike Overview
Approximately 30,000 Boeing workers are currently on strike after a recent contract proposal was overwhelmingly rejected by the union members. The contract negotiated by union leaders was voted down by 94%, signaling a significant divide between workers and their leadership, as many feel out of touch. Workers are demanding substantial pay increases, with a claimed 40% raise as their red line, while the proposed offer was only 25%. The situation reflects a strong labor market and a growing sense of leverage among the workers, who have not had a new contract in over 16 years.
