Just two days after reaching a tentative deal, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) have rejected Boeing Defense’s latest contract offer, according to a report from Reuters issued late Friday afternoon, Sept. 12.

Reuters had previously reported on Wednesday, Sept. 10, that a tentative deal had been negotiated between the company and union officials.

The contract rejection means that the workers’ strike now goes into its seventh week in the St. Louis region, which includes workers from the Metro East and Boeing’s Mascoutah facilities.

“Our members in St. Louis have once again shown that they will not settle for Boeing’s half-measures,” IAM International President Brian Bryant said in a statement. “Boeing must start listening to its employees and come back to the table with a meaningful offer that respects the sacrifices and skill of these workers.”

Boeing workers who build fighter jets went on strike Monday at midnight Central Daylight Time.

About 3,200 workers at Boeing facilities in St. Louis; St. Charles, Missouri; and Mascoutah, Illinois, voted to reject a modified four-year labor agreement with Boeing, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers union said Sunday.

In a post on X, the union said: “3,200 highly-skilled IAM Union members at Boeing went on strike at midnight because enough is enough.”

The vote followed members’ rejection last week of an earlier proposal from the troubled aerospace giant, which had included a 20% wage increase over four years.

“IAM District 837 members build the aircraft and defense systems that keep our country safe,” said Sam Cicinelli, Midwest territory general vice president for the union, in a statement. “They deserve nothing less than a contract that keeps their families secure and recognizes their unmatched expertise.”
