Boeing Machinists Strike At Three Months

With their strike against Boeing closing in on three months, St. Louis members of the International Association of Machinists (IAM) District 837 have now rejected Boeing’s fourth disrespectful contract offer. The workers walked out on Aug. 4. Facing an austerity contract from a powerful monopoly corporation, the Machinists have shown tremendous resilience. Boeing is heavily involved in supplying war planes from the St. Louis plants for the Pentagon’s war on Gaza. Boeing and the Pentagon’s genocidal war against Gaza has the makings of an economic war on strikers at the company’s main military division in St. Louis.

Boeing Workers Are Uniquely Situated To Disrupt The Global Economy

It’s been almost two weeks since more than 33,000 Boeing workers in Washington and Oregon went on strike, crippling one of the largest aerospace companies in the world. Since then Boeing has lost more than $500 million and is losing millions more every day. Thanks in large part to a series of terrible decisions, they seem unprepared to weather a long strike, but the struggle at Boeing has significant international implications as well. Boeing, after all, is the largest exporter in the United States by dollar value, the biggest supplier of commercial aircraft in the United States, and one of the main manufacturers of the weapons that Israel is using in both its genocide in Gaza and its war against Lebanon.
