Boeing machinists
Boeing Co. delivered a final contract offer to its union machinists Thursday that would boost pay by $34,000 on average over three years, the latest effort by the airplane maker to avoid a strike that could cost it millions of dollars a day.
Chicago-based Boeing said the proposed contract was its “best and final” offer and would increase compensation for the roughly 27,000 union workers in Kansas, Oregon and Washington.
It includes a $2,500 bonus for workers if the contract is ratified.
The company said it had withdrawn certain proposals that drew concern from the union, including plans to cut early retiree medical coverage and create a new defined-contribution retirement program for future employees.
