IAM Union District 837 and Boeing have agreed to resume mediation with the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) in an effort to resolve a strike involving around 3,200 union members in the St. Louis area. The strike is approaching its twelfth week.
Mediation between the two parties is scheduled to begin on Monday, October 20.
IAM District 837 issued a statement regarding the development: “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.”
