IAM Union Sends Message to IAM District 751 and W24 Members: Our Solidarity Will Win This Fight

WASHINGTON, D.C., Sept. 13, 2024 – Brian Bryant, International President of the 600,000-member International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), released the following statement on IAM District 751 and W24 members’ strike at the Boeing Co.: 

“Our members’ rejection of Boeing's contract was a resounding victory for the entire aerospace industry and workers’ rights. Boeing must now deliver a contract that respects their value and gives them the dignity they deserve.

“Their ‘no’ vote was a clear mandate. Boeing must stop undervaluing its workforce. Our members deserve a contract that reflects their hard work and sacrifices.

“The IAM stands firmly behind our members. Together, we will fight until Boeing offers a deal that our members will accept. Our strength lies in our unity, and we will not back down until they receive the compensation they have earned.
