The contract’s ratification on the eve of Election Day clears the way for a major US manufacturer and government contractor to restart Pacific Northwest assembly lines that the factory worker walkouts have idled for 53 days.
SEATTLE — Unionized machinists at Boeing voted Monday night to accept a contract offer and end their strike after more than seven weeks, clearing the way for the aerospace giant to resume production of its bestselling airliner and generate much-needed cash.
Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg said in a message to employees that he was pleased to have reached an agreement. “We were threatened by a company that was crippled, dying, bleeding on the ground, and us as one of the biggest unions in the country couldn't even extract two-thirds of our demands from them. This is humiliating," she said.
“It is time for our members to lock in these gains and confidently declare victory,” leaders of IAM District 751 said before the vote. “We believe asking members to stay on strike longer wouldn’t be right as we have achieved so much success.”
