IAM District 837 of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM Union) and Boeing have agreed to resume mediation with the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS). The new round of talks is set for Monday, October 20. This move comes as about 3,200 IAM Union members in the St. Louis area approach their twelfth week on strike.
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.”
Both parties are seeking a resolution that would allow union members to return to their jobs producing military aircraft and defense systems.
