NEW YORK—US aviation giant Boeing has once again improved the conditions in its contract offer to thousands of striking workers, hoping to put an end to a
painful strike that has paralyzed its two main factories for seven weeks.
This was the fourth offer made by Boeing since early September, but the third on which members have been asked to vote. The other conditions in the contract remain unchanged, such as an annual bonus, and the company’s commitment to build its next plane — expected in 2025 — in the Seattle area, where Boeing was founded in July 1916.It remains to be seen if union members will heed the endorsement of the contract by their leaders and head back to work. A simple majority is required for ratification.
