IAM Union District 837 and Boeing have agreed to resume mediation efforts, facilitated by the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS), in hopes of resolving an ongoing labor dispute. The mediation is set to begin on Monday, October 20.
This development comes as about 3,200 members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) approach their twelfth week on strike in the St. Louis area.
In a statement, IAM District 837 said: “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 union represents workers involved in producing military aircraft and defense systems for Boeing in St. Louis.
