Boeing suggests raising wages by 30% to resolve the walkout
Boeing employees, who went on strike after the firm and the unions rejected a deal, were given a fresh offer on Monday that included a 30% pay raise spread over four years.
This is Boeing’s «best and last» offer to employees, the company claimed in a statement, and it’s only available until September 27.
The 30% raise (12% in the first year and 6% in the second to fourth year) is an improvement above the 25% increase that was previously rejected.
The proposal for a new collective bargaining agreement included incentives for the workers to ratify, including a $6,000 bonus and the reintroduction of yearly bonuses.
Additionally, it promised to increase pension plan payments, which will now be 4% of salary fixed and up to 8% when employees contribute extra.
