Union firefighters reject Boeing's latest contract offe
EVERETT — Union firefighters voted “overwhelmingly” Wednesday to reject Boeing’s latest contract offer, so a lockout continues, nearing its third week.
About 125 Boeing firefighters, who are members of the International Association of Fire Fighters Local I-66, are seeking a contract that includes competitive pay and better staffing.
On May 4, Boeing locked them out of its Everett, Seattle area and Moses Lake facilities. About 40 firefighters work at the company’s Everett assembly plant at Paine Field.
This is the third offer that union members have “overwhelmingly” rejected since their contract expired March 1, union leaders said.
