The AFL CIO Machinists union approved a three year contract with Boeing Co ending 10 months of bickering and threats of strikes. About 41 000 hourly workers gain roughly 30 million in salary increases with retroactive pay around 200 per worker. The vote was 114205 to 4688.
Vito Mazzacano says solidarity and confidence helped the agreement. The contract boosts pay by 22 to 32 cents hourly, improves employee ratings, union security and benefits. Present scales run from 1.984 to 3.27144 dollars per hour. Retroactive pay totaling about 7 million dollars dates to September 16 when the old contract expired and will appear in June 21 paychecks.
