vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Sin embargo, fuera de las oficinas, los trabajadores que continúan en la línea de piquete mostraron escepticismo. Algunos empleados, incluidos inspectores de calidad y mecánicos del programa F-15, señalaron que la nueva oferta no aborda los temas más importantes para ellos, como el monto del bono de ratificación, la contribución al 401(k) y los aumentos salariales para los trabajadores con más antigüedad.<span style="font-size: 13pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> <span style="font-size: 13pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> <span style="font-size: 13pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-style: italic; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Outside, on the picket lines, workers remained skeptical. Several employees, including quality inspectors and F-15 assembly mechanics, said the new proposal fails to address key concerns such as the size of the ratification bonus, the 401(k) match, and salary increases for senior employees.

Top-scale employees would receive a 5% lump-sum payment in the second year, followed by a 1.5% wage increase and a 2.5% bonus in the fourth year.<span style="font-size: 13pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">De acuerdo con Boeing, la propuesta elevaría el salario promedio de $75,000 a $109,000 durante el período de cinco años, destacando el valor que la empresa otorga al trabajo de los más de 3,200 empleados sindicalizados de St. Louis.<span style="font-size: 13pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> <span style="font-size: 13pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> <span style="font-size: 13pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-style: italic; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">According to Boeing, the offer would raise average wages from $75,000 to $109,000 over five years, emphasizing the company’s appreciation for the work of its 3,200 union employees in St. Louis.<span style="font-size: 13pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">La empresa recordó que en julio había ofrecido un aumento general del 20% en cuatro años, que fue rechazado. En respuesta, Boeing amplió el contrato a cinco años y agregó un aumento adicional del 4%, aunque los miembros del sindicato prefieren un contrato más corto que les permita volver a negociar antes.<span style="font-size: 13pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> <span style="font-size: 13pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> <span style="font-size: 13pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-style: italic; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Boeing noted that its July offer included a 20% wage increase over four years, which workers rejected. The company has since extended the contract to five years and added another 4% raise, though many union members prefer a shorter deal that would bring them back to the negotiating table sooner.<span style="font-size: 13pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Los trabajadores de St. Louis también reclaman un bono de ratificación similar al que obtuvieron los empleados de Boeing en Seattle, quienes recibieron $12,000 tras una huelga de 53 días el año pasado. Incluso los trabajadores no sindicalizados en Carolina del Sur obtuvieron ese mismo bono.<span style="font-size: 13pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> <span style="font-size: 13pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> <span style="font-size: 13pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-style: italic; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">St. Louis workers have also demanded a ratification bonus similar to the one Boeing employees in Seattle received — $12,000 after a 53-day strike last year. Non-union workers in South Carolina received the same amount.
