Update 1: Our IAM Union bargaining committee met with federal mediators today. The company continues to insist on staying within the same economic framework that our members have rejected three times. The company has re-extended its rejected five-year offer. We will not re-vote a rejected offer. The way to end this strike continues to be the sensible pre-ratified offer that was accepted by our membership. We are available when the company has an improved offer. Continue to stand strong!
Update 2: “We see Boeing has again mischaracterized our negotiations. Today’s mediation session ended with the company giving us an offer that has already been rejected by our membership. It is clear the company was completely unprepared to resolve this strike. We told mediators that we remain fully available when the company has an improved offer.” — IAM Resident General Vice President Jody Bennett and IAM Midwest Territory General Vice President Sam Cicinelli
