The IAM District 751, representing approximately 33000 Boeing workers in Washington state, announced on September 25th that the union will meet with Boeing on September 27th to continue mediation negotiations. The union stated that it is prepared to take this opportunity to raise issues that its members believe are crucial for reaching an agreement. The union stated that the only way to resolve this strike is through negotiation.
On the 23rd, Boeing directly proposed a 30% salary increase to striking workers, which angered union leaders. The union side stated that the proposal was not sufficient and the company's decision to bypass the union was seen as disrespectful to the union.
