Defense workers

More than three thousand Boeing defense workers are planning to shoot on Monday, a fresh blow to combat aviation giants.

This happens after the union members in Missouri and Illinois operations, which build F-15 fighter jets and other military aircraft, voted for the last proposal of the firm for payment, work schedules and pensions.

“We are disappointed that our employees have rejected a proposal that presents 40% average wage growth,” said Dan Jillian in a statement, which is the Vice President of the Boeing Division.

Boeing struggles for turning after a number of problems, including security problems and harm A seven -week walk Last year on passenger planes.

The planned walks are headed by the local branch of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) based in St. Louis, where the Boeing defensive center is located.

“The participants spoke loudly and clearly, they deserve a contract that reflects their skill, dedication and important role they play in defense of our country,” said Tom Boling, the highest official of the Union.

“We stand shoulder to the shoulder with these working families when they are fighting for justice and respect at work.”

This would be the first strike in the Boeing Defense Business since 1996, when the work stopped for more than three months.

Iam is one of the largest trade unions in America, representing approximately 600,000 members in aerospace, protection, shipbuilding and production industries.
