We did it @jamestalarico

[Gina Hinojosa @GinaHinojosaTX]

Tonight, I make a solemn promise to every single Texan. Whether you voted for me or Governor Abbott, or felt so betrayed by a broken politics that you did not vote at all.

Hear what Texas said today, loud and clear: Your government belongs to you. And as your governor, I will never forget it. There will be no special set of rules for the wealthy and powerful. No looking the other way when someone in my own party does wrong.

The trust you have placed in me tonight is not a blank check. It is a sacred responsibility. And I intend to earn it every single day.

IAM/Boeing Proposal for Contract 2024
October 31, 2024

Your Union is endorsing and recommending the latest IAM/Boeing Contract Proposal. It is time for our Members to lock in these gains and confidently declare victory. We believe asking members to stay on strike longer wouldn't be right as we have achieved so much success.

In every negotiation and strike, there is a point where we have extracted everything that we can in bargaining and by withholding our labor. We are at that point now and risk a regressive or lesser offer in the future.

This contract builds on everything achieved in the September 12, 2024 agreement, with the additional gains you achieved by going on strike.

The two significant changes in this offer from the last one are:
-38% GWI over four years - 13%, 9%, 9%, 7%, which compounds to 43.65% over the life of the agreement
-The $12,000 Ratification bonus combines the previous $7k ratification bonus and the $5K lump sum into the 401k. Now, members can choose how this total amount is received - in your paycheck, contribution to your 401K, or a combination of both.

Find all proposal information at https://t.co/mYDfwX7ptm

We will vote on this proposal on Monday, November 4, 2024, and information on voting locations/times will be released later tonight. Please monitor your email for this information.

Day 37 - Strike Update
October 19, 2024

IAM/Boeing Negotiated Resolution Contract 2024:
With the help of Acting U.S. Secretary of Labor Julie Su, we have received a negotiated proposal and resolution to end the strike, and it warrants presenting to the members and is worthy of your consideration. The company is offering the following improvements to the offer from September 12, 2024, with the only change being the removal of the MRSP (Machinists Retirement Savings Plan). We are finalizing the strike settlement agreement, which will be completed soon, along with additional contract details to provide you with a clear understanding of the offer.

We plan to hold the contract ratification vote on Wednesday, October 23, 2024. We are working to secure voting locations to accommodate our membership. There will be only one ballot to ACCEPT or REJECT the bargaining agreement. No strike vote is required as we are already on strike. A simple majority (50% +1) of members voting will determine the outcome.

The future of this contract is in your hands. Thank you for your continued input and support throughout this process.
