Boeing 'moves on' with pay raises despite strike

Article Abstract:

Boeing Co has announced that it will raise the pay of members of its striking engineers and technical workers union who continue to work. It confirmed that it had reached a deadlock in negotiations with the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace that has been on strike against the aircraft manufacturer for 3 and a half weeks. The union, which represents only Boeing workers, wants more guaranteed pay raises and bonuses along the lines of the increases won last year by production employees represented by the International Assn of Machinists.

Boeing engineers end weeks-long strike

Article Abstract:

Boeing engineering employees were expected to approve a new contract on Mar 19, 2000, that would end a prolonged strike. The strike threatened to delay aircraft deliveries for months. The deal gives the union nearly all the concession it had demanded and represents a victory in key areas such as healthcare benefits and bonuses. For example, union members under the new agreement will lose no benefits and receive bonuses despite Boeing's insistence it could not afford to pay the bonuses, which are tied to production goals.

Boeing offers raise, bonus

Article Abstract:

Beoing Co has made a contract offer to its workers, promising to impose increases wages and pensions, although employees are still worried about job security in the aircraft manufacturer. The contract, which met nearly all the demands of the International Association of Machinists (IAM), includes 11% wage hikes over three years and an average of $4,400 in bonus. Several analysts however, see the generous offer as another drawback in the company's competitive stance against Airbus.
