From the article:
Unionized machinists at Boeing voted Monday to accept a contract offer and end their strike after more than seven weeks.
Leaders of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers district in Seattle said 59% of members who cast ballots agreed to approve the company’s fourth formal offer and the third put to a vote. The deal includes pay raises of 38% over four years, and ratification and productivity bonuses.
However, Boeing refused to meet strikers’ demand to restore a company pension plan that was frozen nearly a decade ago.
The average annual pay of Boeing machinists is currently $75,608 and eventually will rise to $119,309 under the new contract, according to the company.
Why’s this feel like a car-dealership special: Where you negotiate and negotiate and FINALLY they seem to relent…
…but it’s still in their favor and they simply shifted the numbers to different variables so you feel like you’re getting a fair deal…
