IAM Union District 837 and Boeing have agreed to resume mediation with the help of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) starting Monday, October 20. This move aims to reach an agreement for about 3,200 IAM Union members who have been on strike in the St. Louis area for nearly 12 weeks.
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 scheduled mediation marks another effort by both parties to resolve ongoing labor issues affecting production at Boeing’s St. Louis facilities.
