In third week of standoff, planemaker has no plans for further talks with union, which is seeking 40% increase
Boeing has withdrawn a 30% pay offer for striking workers as talks between the company and unions reached a stalemate in the third week of a standoff over pay.
The US planemaker said it had removed its offer that would result in a pay increase by almost a third over three years for 33,000 US staff, with no further negotiations with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) planned.
Boeing and the union held their latest round of negotiations with federal mediators on Monday and Tuesday, but talks collapsed with both parties locked in an acrimonious stalemate showing no signs of being resolved soon, Reuters reported.
My dad worked for Boeing as a test engineer in the 90s, but he saw the way the company was going and now works for Airbus lol
