Boeing Workers End Strike After Securing 38% Pay Rise
Boeing workers have voted to accept a 38% pay rise over four years, ending a seven-week strike involving 30,000 employees. The deal includes a one-time bonus of $12,000 and adjustments to retirement plans, approved by 59% of voting workers. This strike, which began on September 13, significantly hampered production at Boeing, prompting intervention from the White House to facilitate negotiations. Union leader Jon Holden praised the outcome as a victory for fair workplace wages. Employees can start returning to work as soon as Wednesday, signaling a critical recovery for the company.
