Boeing is withdrawing its initial 30% pay increase offer after it made that offer last month, calling it their “best and final offer.” A letter sent to Boeing employees said “The union made non-negotiable demands far in excess of what can be accepted if we are to remain competitive as a business. Given that position, further negotiations do not make sense at this point and our offer has been withdrawn.”

Boeing says it has withdrawn its pay rise offer to striking workers after negotiations with union representatives reached a stalemate.
The aviation giant accused the union of not giving its proposals serious consideration.
The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers union (IAM) said Boeing was “hell-bent on standing on the non-negotiated offer” which it says was rejected by its members.
Last month, Boeing announced what it called its “best and final” offer to workers, which proposed a 30% rise over four years – lower than the 40% being demanded by the union.
“The union made non-negotiable demands far in excess of what can be accepted if we are to remain competitive as a business,” Boeing Commercial Airplanes President Stephanie Pope said in a letter sent to employees.
