On July 30, the union announced overnight negotiations with Boeing had yielded results and that the union\u2019s nearly 2,500 members would vote on the revised contract offer Wednesday. The start of the strike was postponed until after that vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IAW said in a release the revised contract offer its members approved included an $8,000 lump sum payment that can be deferred to employees\u2019 401(k)s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the new contract, Boeing will also continue making 4% automatic contributions to each employees\u2019 401(k), without any match from the employee, the union said. The union said the rejected contract offer would have dropped the 4% automatic contribution in 2023 in favor of 2% lump sums at the end of the year for employees on the payroll on the last days of 2023 and 2024, after which those lump sums would have gone away entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ratified contract will also maintain the current 75% match for the first 8% employees contribute from their own salaries. In the contract offer rejected in late July, Boeing proposed a 100% match of 10% of employee contributions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While that would have been a more generous match, the union prioritized keeping the 4% automatic contribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The union said the contract will also include an average 14% general wage increase over the three-year period, plus cost-of-living adjustments; no changes to employees\u2019 existing health insurance plans; improvements to sick, parental and funeral leave; and other changes to the wage and raise structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The contract, which takes effect Thursday, covers members at Boeing facilities in St. Louis and St. Charles, Missouri, and Mascoutah, Illinois. Aircraft such as the T-7A Red Hawk trainer, F-15 and F\/A-18 fighters and the MQ-25 Stingray unmanned refueling aircraft are built in St. Louis, and St. Charles produces the precision-guided Joint Direct Attack Munition kits, among other weapons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The union had objected to proposed changes to employees&#8217; 401(k) benefits, and in late July
