Boeing has halted discussions and withdrawn its pay proposal to union workers, as a major strike approaches its fourth week. This leaves approximately 33,000 people in a state of uncertainty and heightens tensions between the two sides.
Boeing announced it has withdrawn its pay offer to approximately 33,000 U.S. factory workers amid a strike entering its fourth week. The company stated that no further negotiations would occur following a failed round of discussions with union representatives, mediated by federal officials.
Stephanie Pope, head of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, criticized the union for not seriously considering Boeing's proposals, which she described as "non-negotiable." She noted that Boeing is focused on cash preservation, exploring options to raise billions through stock sales, while temporarily furloughing thousands of salaried employees.
The union, representing West Coast factory workers, is demanding a 40% pay increase over four years and the reinstatement of a defined-benefit pension, which was eliminated in a previous contract. A recent offer of a 25% raise was overwhelmingly rejected by workers, and Boeing's latest proposal of a 30% raise was also deemed insufficient.
Despite Boeing's claims of good faith bargaining and improved proposals, the union accused the company of refusing to negotiate on key issues, including wage increases and benefits.
