Boeing’s strike ends after machinists approve new labor contract with 38% wage increases

Boeing machinists approved a new labor deal Monday that ends a more than seven-week strike that halted most of the company’s aircraft production.

Machinists voted 59% in favor of the new contract, which includes 38% wage increases over four years. It was their third vote since walking off the job on Sept. 13 when they overwhelmingly rejected an earlier proposal promising 25% raises, far short of the 40% the union sought.
