Boeing Workers’ Union Urges CEO to Step In as Strike Intensifies

Boeing Workers’ Union Urges CEO to Step In as Strike Intensifies
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Boeing’s largest union, representing over 33,000 striking workers, called on the company’s new CEO, Kelly Ortberg, to take a more active role in resolving the ongoing labor dispute on Tuesday, October 1st. The workers, represented by the International Association of Machinists (IAM) and Aerospace Workers, have been on strike since September 13, 2024, halting production of Boeing’s 737 MAX and two other commercial airplane models. Tensions escalated when Boeing cut off the health insurance benefits for the striking employees on Monday, September 30th.

The union, led by President Brian Bryant, urged Ortberg to take control of the negotiations, accusing his subordinates of mishandling key decisions. “It’s time for the new CEO to truly engage at the proposal-based level and take the reins from his subordinates who are fumbling critical decisions like this one,” Bryant said in a statement. The union expressed frustration with Boeing’s decision to cut health benefits during the strike, stating that the move has worsened the already strained relationship between the company and its workers.

Negotiations between Boeing and IAM District 751 stalled last week, and it remains unclear when talks will resume. Boeing’s most recent offer included a 30% pay raise over four years and the reinstatement of a performance bonus, which the company described as its “best and final” offer. However, the union rejected the proposal, insisting that it does not meet the workers’ demands for a 40% pay increase and the restoration of a defined-benefit pension plan.

The strike marks the first work stoppage at Boeing since 2008 and comes at a time when the company is already grappling with other crises. Production delays and financial pressures have hit Boeing hard, with the strike further exacerbating these challenges. The union emphasized that the workers’ grievances extend beyond pay and benefits, citing broader concerns about the company’s treatment of its employees.

Boeing responded to the union’s appeal by stating its commitment to “resetting the relationship” with its workforce and negotiating in good faith. The company expressed its desire to reach an agreement as soon as possible, but no timeline has been given for the next round of talks.

As the strike continues, the financial impact on both Boeing and its workers is expected to grow. Striking workers have been advised to seek alternative health coverage while the union pressures Boeing to restore the benefits. The outcome of this labor dispute will have significant implications for Boeing’s production capacity and the future of its workforce relations.
