Important Friday Vote: Union Strike Settlement Offer to Company

Dear IAM District 837 Family,

Over the past several weeks, your unwavering solidarity on the picket lines has been nothing short of inspiring. Your strength, sacrifice, and commitment to standing together has sent a powerful message — not just to Boeing, but across the entire IAM and to working people everywhere. You have reminded the country what it means to fight for dignity, fairness, and respect on the job.

We continue to hear your feedback – and we’re thinking outside the box to get to an agreement. Your Bargaining Committee is seeking your permission, through a democratic vote this Friday, Sept. 19, to bring forward a revised four-year strike settlement offer to the company that delivers meaningful improvements.

This proposal includes all terms of the previous offer, along with the following key enhancements:

• Annual General Wage Increases (GWI) of 8%, 4%, 4% and 4%, respectively. Members at top of scale would receive 8%, $1.50, $1.50, and 4%, respectively.

• 100% company match on first 8% of employee 401(k) contributions, maintaining the company’s 4% contribution. 

• A $10,000 ratification bonus, which can be deferred into the 401(k) or HSA.

A vote will be held this Friday, Sept. 19, 2025 from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the St. Louis Music Park (750 Casino Center Dr., Maryland Heights, MO 63043). Results will be tallied immediately after polls close.

You are welcome to vote and leave the venue. Your Bargaining Committee will be present to answer questions. 

IMPORTANT: If our membership ratifies this offer, it will be submitted to Boeing as a pre-ratified agreement subject to Boeing’s acceptance. If Boeing declines our offer, we will continue to remain on strike and stand ready to return to the bargaining table. The strike will continue until Boeing has accepted the offer.

This is a critical moment. The outcome is in our hands — and our continued unity will shape the future for every member. We encourage every one of you to stand strong and make your voice count at the ballot box this Friday, Sept. 19.

In Solidarity,

Your IAM District 837 Bargaining Committee
