One union member, who spoke with KIRO Newsradio anonymously, said workers are angry at Boeing and union leaders who are recommending members accept the contract offer.the latest offer calls for a 25% increase instead, which Holden said is still the largest general pay wage increase they’ve ever seen.

We’re going to go on strike.” So far this year, Boeing reported more than $1.4 billion in losses in its second quarter, they faced a public National Transportation Safety Board investigation into the 737 MAX that suffered a panel blowout midflight and two astronauts remain stuck at the International Space Station until February because of problems with the Starliner spacecraft Boeing built for NASA.
