Boeing Labor Strike Delays F-15EX Fighter Deliveries
An employee strike has impacted Boeing’s St. Louis-based facility since early August, leading the US Air Force to publicly acknowledge that the delivery of the F-15EX fighter platform will be delayed.
The vote could end the strike at the company’s St. Louis-area plants, now in its twelfth week. However, union-represented workers will be voting on a proposal that IAM District 837’s bargaining committee said it does not endorse.
Boeing and IAM 837 members are continuing mediation talks for the second consecutive day with the help of a federal mediator, as the strike reaches its 79th day with no agreement yet in sight.
