Historic Strike at Boeing

For the first time in nearly 30 years, 3,200 Boeing workers have gone on strike. The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM Union) has rejected the company's four-year contract offer, leading to this significant action.

Workers' Stand for Respect

"Enough is enough. This is about respect and dignity, not empty promises," the union declared on its X account. The strike underscores the workers' demand for fair treatment and a contract that reflects their contributions.

Impact on Production

The strike affects three key facilities in St. Louis and St. Charles, Missouri, and Mascoutah, Illinois, and is expected to disrupt the production of the new F-47 fighter jets, highlighting the critical role of these workers in national defense.
