SEATTLE ― Thousands of Boeing hourly workers voted in Seattle to authorize a potential labor strike if ongoing contract negotiations stumble, a union statement said on Wednesday.
The result was generally expected but came on top of renewed scrutiny Boeing is facing after a series of troubles including a January incident in which a fuselage door plug blew out during a flight.'We want the company to take our proposals seriously and bargain earnestly,' said Jon Holden, president of International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District 751.
At a Senate hearing last month, Boeing Chief Executive Dave Calhoun said workers 'will definitely get a raise.' The union is also seeking assurances from Boeing that it will build its next new aircraft ― expected around 2035 ― in the Seattle region.Holden has said certainty on the next jet being manufactured in the Pacific Northwest amounts to 'job security for the next 50 years.' Show of solidarity The IAM said talks have been largely moribund in recent weeks.
