A vote on a new labor contract has resulted in the biggest strike at Boeing for 16 years, with 33,000 workers participating after the vast majority rejected the deal. 

On the night of September 12, 2024, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) announced that Boeing factory workers had turned down the proposed new labor contract. 

The rejected deal would have given Boeing factory workers a 25% salary increase over the next four years and better job security. The manufacturer is committed to producing its upcoming Boeing 797 commercial jet, which has not yet been revealed, at a unionized facility.
