SUMMARY: About 3,500 Boeing union workers in the St. Louis area rejected a revised four-year labor contract for the second time, triggering a strike set to begin at midnight. The union demands better pay, benefits, and predictable schedules, emphasizing their critical role in building and maintaining fighter jets and defense systems. Boeing’s latest offer included a \$0.50 raise for top mechanics, a $10 pension multiplier starting year one, and a $5,000 signing bonus, with average salaries over $100,000. Boeing expressed disappointment but is activating contingency plans. This strike would be Boeing’s first major St. Louis work stoppage since 1996.

Approximately 3,500 union workers at three Boeing plants in St. Louis, St. Charles, and Mascoutah, Illinois, rejected a four-year labor agreement with the aerospace giant on Sunday, the final day of a proposed “cooling off” period before a strike goes into effect at midnight.
