As our Members and the country enjoy their holiday weekend - thanks to the relentless efforts of the Labor Movement - your Union negotiators remain at the table, dedicated to securing the contract you deserve.
This morning, we delivered our counter proposal on wages, giving Boeing the opportunity to make meaningful progress this weekend. We are standing firm on the priorities you have emphasized. As we approach September 12, it's essential to remind you of what lies ahead.
While we have not yet reached an agreement, we anticipate that Boeing will drop its comprehensive offer promptly to the workforce once it is offered to us. Following this, Boeing will likely launch an intense marketing campaign to sell their proposal. Your Bargaining Committee will prepare the contract so that you can see all the changes and additions to the agreement. At that time, we will make a recommendation, and the decision will be in the Members' hands. Prepare to dive deep into the proposal, analyze the numbers, and determine its true impact on you and your family. Lean on your Union stewards and leaders for clarity on any uncertain items. Don't allow the company to dictate what's best for you - stay vigilant and ready to make your voice heard on the 12th.
We are on the right side of history in this fight. Our communities stand with us because they recognize that our success at the bargaining table raises the bar for everyone. Our fight is for everyone - from engineers and salaried workers to non-represented, the supply chain, and everyone in between who has had a hand in making this industry successful.
The company leadership making decisions at the top is detached from the realities on the shop floor, where our Members bring these magnificent flying machines to life. Securing the next airplane program in these negotiations is crucial because only our Members possess the skill and dedication to make that future a reality.
In Unity,
Your IAM District 751 and District W24 Negotiating Committee
