Thousands of us, workers struck the stake line in three factories in Illinois and Missouri.
Thousands of workers from Boeing across the United States who develop military planes and weapons have been on strike.
The strike began on Monday in the Boeing facilities in St Louis and St Charles, Missouri, as well as Mascoutah, Illinois, after the missed negotiations on salary increases and other provisions of a new contract.
About 3,200 local members of the International Machinists and Aerospace Workers Voted on Sunday to reject a four-year amended labor agreement, the union said.
“The members of the district 837 of the district 837 build the aircraft and defense systems which ensure our country in security,” said Sam Cicinelli, vice-president of the Midwest division of the union, in a statement. “They deserve nothing less than a contract that keeps their families safe and recognizes their unrivaled expertise.”
The vote followed a one -week cooling period after the workers rejected a previous proposed contract, which included a salary increase of 20% over four years and ratification premiums of $ 5,000.
Boeing warned the weekend that he was planning Strike after workers rejected Its latest offer, which has not yet strengthened the wage hike offered. However, the proposal deleted a planning provision which would have affected the capacity of workers to save overtime.
“We are disappointed that our employees have rejected an offer that included an average wage growth of 40% and solved their main problem on alternative work schedules,” said Dan Gillian, Vice-President and Managing Director of Boeing Air Dominance, and senior director of the ST Louis site.
“We are ready for a strike and have fully implemented our emergency plan to ensure that our uncribed workforce can continue to support our customers.”
Boeing’s defense, space and security activities represent more than a third of the company’s income. But Boeing CEO, Kelly Ortberg, told analysts last week that the impact of a machinist strike who builds hunting jets, weapons systems and the first plane without handling the US Navy would be much less than a discharge last year by 33,000 workers who assemble the business of the company.
“The order of magnitude is much, much less than what we saw last fall,” said Ortberg. “So we will manage this. I would not worry too much about the implications of the strike. ”
The 2024 strike closed Boeing factories in Washington for more than seven weeks at a dark time for the company. Boeing was subjected to several federal surveys last year after a door cap blew an airplane of 737 max during an Alaska Airlines flight in January.
THE Federal Aviation Administration Put limits to the production of Boeing plane which, she said, would last until the agency feels entrusted to the idea of making quality guarantees in the company. The door plate incident has renewed the safety concerns of the 737 max. Two of the planes crashed less than five months apart in 2018 and 2019, killing 346 people.
Ortberg told analysts that the company had slowly made its way to a Max production ceiling of FAA-SET 737 of 38 per month and plans to ask regulators later this year to authorize it.
Last week, Boeing said that his second quarter revenues had improved and that his losses were reduced. The company lost $ 611 million in the second quarter, against a loss of $ 1.44 billion in the same period last year.
Boeing’s stock fell to the news of the strike. Trend down earlier during the day, it has been upwards since it has been up, but is still below the open market from 0.26% at 12:30 p.m. (4:30 p.m. GMT).
