Boeing Workers Strike at Midwest Plants After Rejected Offer
Boeing, an airplane manufacturer, is experiencing a strike involving thousands of workers at three plants.
The workers, members of the IAM union, voted to reject a new agreement.
They want a contract that makes sure their families are secure.
Boeing offered a pay raise and bonus, but the workers were not satisfied.
Despite the strike, the company believes the impact will be less than previous labor disruptions.
This strike follows investigations and production limitations following incidents.
Over 3,000 Boeing workers at three Midwest plants went on strike.
The strike began after workers rejected a modified four-year labor agreement.
The union stated the workers deserve a contract that secures their families.
Boeing's offer included a 20% wage increase over four years and a $5,000 bonus.
The strike is expected to have less impact than a previous one by commercial jetliner workers.
