Boeing workers vote on new contract that may end five-week strike
Summary: Boeing factory workers are voting on a new contract that could end a five-week strike. The proposal includes a 35% pay increase over four years, a $7,000 bonus, and improved retirement contributions.
The vote follows a previous offer that was rejected by 95% of workers. Many employees remain skeptical about the new deal, with some expressing a desire for a larger wage increase and the restoration of lost pensions.
The strike has cost Boeing about $100 million daily and affected the aerospace supply chain. The outcome of the vote will determine if the strike continues or ends.
