Thousands of Boeing employees in St. Louis are prepared to strike after rejecting a new contract proposal from the company.
The union contends the offer falls short of fairly compensating their crucial role in national defense projects and fails to address key work concerns.
Boeing maintains its offer includes substantial wage increases and resolves major issues regarding work schedules and overtime pay.
This potential strike, the first at this Boeing facility in decades, could significantly disrupt production of important military aircraft programs.
