BERKELEY, Mo. — Boeing may narrowly avoid a strike at its three St. Louis-area facilities after it made a new contract proposal to the union here.
Local Boeing workers had voted to reject the company's previous offer and initiate a strike, which was scheduled to begin at 12:01 a.m. Monday. Instead, workers will vote Wednesday on a new offer the company reached after an overnight bargaining session, according to the union, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District 837.
The three-year contract will cover nearly 2,500 workers in north St. Louis County, St. Charles and Mascoutah, Illinois. They make defense aircrafts including the F-15, F-18, T-7A trainer and MQ-25 refueling drone.
