STRIKE READY FOR IAM 751 MACHINISTS

On July 17th, between 20,000 and 25,000 from the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace workers local 751 (IAM 751) packed T-Mobile Stadium for a historic strike authorization vote, which they passed by 99.9%.

On September 12th, 2024, the contract between the 32,000 machinists in IAM 751 and the Boeing Company will expire. Right now Machinists are in the process of bargaining with Boeing, with economic demands as well as demands around safety for the flying public.

It is up to the Machinists to decide whether they want to strike or not. But we want to send a strong message that the community has their backs. Should the machinists go on strike, will you commit to joining them for a shift on the picket line in Seattle, Everett, Renton, or Frederickson?

Why is this important?

The biggest factory in the world is right here in the Puget Sound in Everett. Boeing Machinists in IAM 751 are part of one of the biggest labor unions in the region, and have a lot of power to change society, so it's important that we stand in solidarity with them as they exercise it.

Let's stand in solidarity with the machinists, and show up for them on the picket line!
