Boeing to give Machinists final offer today

Posted at 7:23 am by Michelle Dunlop

Boeing will make its final contract offer to its Machinists union today – well ahead of the labor group’s vote Sept. 3.

Company negotiators will meet with the press a few hours after they deliver their “last, best and final” three-year deal to the union, said Boeing spokesman Tim Healy last night.

Union officials have been miffed about Boeing’s decision to cut off negotiations so early. Boeing has said it is making the offer early in response to conversations with Machinists on the shop floor.

Boeing made its second offer on Tuesday. And it isn’t expected to make drastic changes to that offer. The Machinists say Boeing left two strike issues on the negotiating table.
