Uan idea that is considered “not enough”. The International Union of Machinists (IAM) rejected the proposal of the Boeing union on Monday September 23, which is necessary to increase wages by 30% in four years, to end the workers’ strike in the United States. For ten days, more than 33,000 engineers at the plant in the Seattle area are on strike, as part of negotiations around their new collective agreement, which provides for a 25% wage increase in four years.

The American airline has decided to continue the talks and offered, this Monday, the “best” and final offer to the attackers. The offer is conditional on approval no later than Friday September 27. But the union has rejected it, which believes, in a press release, that the proposed wage increase does not go “far enough to meet the demands” of the assault officer.

“Boeing is off topic with its proposal,” he continued, saying that the offer was sent directly “to members and the media”, outside of the negotiations. And to confirm: “The company refused to meet us to continue discussions. Therefore, we will not vote on the 27th. “

According to Agence France-Presse (AFP), the rest of the agreement presented on September 8 will not change, specifically the commitment to place the next flight, expected by 2035, in the Seattle area.
