About 3,200 Boeing jet and weapons workers begin strike

By America-Today August 5, 2025

About 3,200 union members at Boeing facilities in Missouri and Illinois

went on strike at midnight on Monday after rejecting an contract offer

from the company, the union said.

Local members of the International Association of Machinists and

Aerospace Workers, who build and maintain fighter jets, including the F-

15 and F/A-18 models, voted on Sunday to reject Boeing's latest contract

offer."IAM District 837 members build the aircraft and defense systems that

keep our country safe," IAM Midwest Territory General Vice President

Sam Cicinelli said in a statement.

Cicinelli added, "They deserve nothing less than a contract that keeps

their families secure and recognizes their unmatched expertise."

The union members work at Boeing facilities in St. Louis and St. Charles,

Missouri, along with Mascoutah, Illinois, according to the union.

They had voted on July 27 to reject an earlier 4-year contract proposal put

forward by the company, the union said.
