Boeing Strike Ends as IAM District 837 Ratifies Five-Year Contract

A fifth ballot delivered a five-year pact with a $6,000 ratification bonus, base pay rising to about $109,000 by year five, and guaranteed reinstatement for strikers.

Overview

  • More than 3,000 union members approved the agreement on November 13, ending a walkout that stretched past 100 days.
  • Boeing said production teams will reunite the week of November 17 after the vote ended a months-long stoppage.
  • The deal drops a planned employee stock distribution in favor of immediate cash, reflecting worker feedback for upfront pay.
  • The company guaranteed returning strikers a job at their current sites, addressing concerns after it recruited permanent replacements in September.
  • This was the fifth contract vote since late July, covering about 3,200 workers at St. Louis–area and Mascoutah plants that build the F‑15, F‑18, T‑7 Red Hawk and MQ‑25.
