IAM Union District 837 and Boeing have agreed to resume mediation efforts with the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) to try to reach an agreement for about 3,200 union members in the St. Louis area. The workers are approaching their twelfth week on strike.
The mediation is set to start on Monday, October 20.
IAM District 837 issued a statement: “The IAM Union is hopeful that returning to mediation will lead to meaningful progress and a fair resolution. We’re ready to get back to the table, reach an equitable agreement, and get our members back to work building the world’s most advanced military aircraft and defense systems.”
The strike has affected a significant number of workers in St. Louis who are involved in manufacturing military aircraft and defense systems for Boeing.
