Strike

Workers at Starbucks, Amazon and some other prominent consumer brands are fighting for their first contracts after several locations voted to unionize.

Unionized factory workers at Boeing are voting on whether to accept a contract offer or to continue their strike.

Boeing factory workers will remain on strike after voting Wednesday to reject the plane maker's most recent contract offer. Workers are holding out for one specific item.

Striking machinists voted to reject an agreement that would have boosted wages by 35%. It’s another blow for Boeing, which reported a $6 billion quarterly loss on Wednesday.

Boeing is moving toward raising up to $25 billion to shore up its troubled financial position.

Boeing has withdrawn a contract offer that would have given striking workers 30% raises over four years after talks broke down. The union said that the offer was withdrawn after a second day of mediated talks.

This week, Boeing cut off company-paid healthcare coverage for tens of thousands of striking Boeing machinists and their families. But, a new Washington state law could fill the gap.

While the machinist's union and Boeing return to the negotiating table, workers are manning picket lines across the Puget Sound region.

Boeing is giving the union for 33,000 striking workers more time, but it still wants a vote on its latest contract proposal, which is getting poor reviews from workers.

Boeing's proposed contract, released on Monday, includes bigger raises and bonuses than the offer that union members overwhelmingly rejected this month.
