Contract Signed At Boeing Plant In Wichita
The International Association of Machinists averted a strike at Boeing Airplane Co in Wichita by approving a two year contract. The union vote was 3 to 1, ending alerts that could have idled 27,000 workers and halted B52 and Bomber production. The pact includes a 5 percent raise first year and 7 percent second year. Wage scales range from 1.60 to 2.73 hourly. Compromise on the employee review program adds union input, eliminates attendance as a factor, allows comments on supervisor decisions, provides reviews of poor ratings, and lets the union challenge unfavorable ratings through existing grievance channels.
