Over 3,200 Boeing defense workers in St. Louis remain on strike since August 4, demanding better pay, benefits, and a $10,000 bonus, as talks stall and replacements are hired.
Over 3,200 Boeing defense workers in St. Louis have been on strike since August 4, demanding better pay, retirement benefits, and a $10,000 bonus, rejecting multiple contract offers.
The strike, focused on F-15, F-18, and F-47 fighter jet production, has entered its second month with no resolution, as federal mediators resume talks and Boeing hires permanent replacements.
Union leaders, including IAM and AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler, urge a return to work, while workers say the company treats them as replaceable and show disrespect.
Despite community support and a failed mediation session, the union remains firm, citing unrealistic demands from Boeing, while concerns grow over lost health care and the strike extending into the holidays.
