Boeing, Machinists to Resume Mediated Talks Monday as St. Louis Strike Hits 53 Days

The work stoppage targets lower‑rate military programs with limited near‑term cash impact for Boeing.

Overview

  • Boeing and IAM District 837 issued a joint statement confirming negotiations will restart Monday with a federal mediator.
  • Union members overwhelmingly backed a four‑year union‑drafted contract on Sept. 19, which Boeing said it did not extend or collectively bargain.
  • During the strike, Boeing delivered one F/A‑18 and one F‑15, produced 3,120 JDAM kits, and continued flight testing on the T‑7 and MQ‑25.
  • The company warned it could hire replacement workers and is reviewing hundreds of applications gathered at a recent job fair.
  • Boeing labor chief Michael Fitzsimmons is leaving for Ford, and the company said his departure will not affect talks.
