United States : Update: Boeing boosts contract offer for engineering union
Publish Date : 14-Jan-2013
Boeing Co made a revised offer to the union representing its 23,000 engineering employees on Friday.
The improved offer came on the same day the US government ordered a review of the firm\'s 787 Dreamliner following a string of mechanical and electrical problems.
Boeing and the union are meeting this week to renew a contract that expired in November. Federal mediators joined the talks in December after the talks appeared at an impasse.
Boeing\'s new offer boosted raises for professional workers by 5 per cent in each of the first two years of the four-year agreement, and 4 per cent in each of the remaining years.
