Boeing strikers to vote on 35% pay rise offer
==========
Boeing has proposed a 35% pay rise over four years to striking machinists, who will vote on the offer on Wednesday. About 33,000 unionized workers have been on strike since 14 September, affecting production of the 737 MAX, 767, and 777 planes. Boeing announced it is seeking an additional $35 billion in funding and plans to lay off 17,000 workers, about 10% of its workforce, in November. The union previously rejected a 30% salary increase offer, seeking a 40% raise and reinstatement of a defined-benefits pension. The new offer includes a $7,000 bonus, an incentive plan, and enhanced retirement contributions. The strike has drawn attention from the Biden administration, with Acting US Labour Secretary Julie Su meeting with union and Boeing representatives. Boeing has faced scrutiny following a safety incident in January and a criminal fraud conspiracy charge in July, resulting in a $243.6 million penalty.
