“The survey results from yesterday were overwhelmingly clear, almost as loud as the first offer: members are not interested in the company’s latest offer that was sent through the media,” the IAM post said, external.
On Monday, Boeing made what it called its “best and final” pay offer, which included the reinstatement of a performance bonus, improved retirement benefits and a doubling of the value of a one-off bonus for signing a new pay deal to $6,000 (£4,470).
The company said the offer was dependent on it being ratified by union members by midnight pacific time on Friday 27 September (7:00 GMT on Saturday 28 September).
However, IAM said Boeing had sent the new offer directly to union members and the media without telling the union’s representatives.
It also said the company’s deadline did not give it enough time to organise a vote by its members.
Boeing denied that it had not informed IAM representatives about the offer, and said it would give the union more time and logistical support to ballot its members.
