Washington, DC – The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers are recommending a new four-year contract to 3,200 IAM members at Boeing facilities in St. Louis, St. Charles, Mo., and Mascoutah, Ill.
“Our negotiating committee worked tirelessly to negotiate a deal that represented the concerns of our membership,” said IAM District 837 Directing Business Representative Tom Boelling. “I couldn’t be more proud of the negotiating team and our membership.”
The four-year agreement includes improvements throughout the contract, including:
Average wage increases of 40% over the life of the agreement
Increases in progression rates
Strengthens current medical benefits
Increased pension multiplier
Overtime improvements
Work-life balance
IAM members assemble and maintain advanced aircraft and weapons systems, including the F-15, F/A-18, and cutting-edge missile and defense technologies. Their work plays a vital role in safeguarding national security and supporting U.S. and allied defense operations.
“This contract puts money in members’ pockets, protects healthcare access, and ensures our members have a voice in future health decisions all while respecting the skill and dedication IAM workers bring to Boeing’s critical defense programs,” said IAM Union International President Brian Bryant.
“This agreement reflects the strength of our membership and the power of solidarity,” said IAM Midwest Territory General Vice President Sam Cicinelli. “From the shop floor to the bargaining table, our members stood united and it paid off.”
“We made it clear to the company that protecting our members’ futures was non-negotiable,” said IAM Resident General Vice President Jody Bennett. “With stronger pensions, real wage growth, and better work-life balance, we’ve delivered a contract that meets the moment.”
IAM represents over 600,000 members.
