Boeing has increased its offer to striking Machinists, hoping to end a work stoppage that entered its eleventh day today. According to the Seattle Times, the new proposal would raise wages 30 percent over four years, as opposed to 25 percent in the offer that workers rejected by 94.6 percent. Mediated talks with Boeing broke off September 18, the union said, with nothing more scheduled. Then on Monday morning, the company announced a new offer in the press.

    I really hope the union really puts the screws to the C-suite. Part of their demands should include an irrevocable seat or two (maybe: one to advocate for the union, and another to specifically advocate for QC and safety) on Boeing’s board, with veto rights if they can manage it.
