Boeing members of the International Association of Machinists & Aerospace Workers (IAM) approved a four-year contract extension. The agreement covers employees represented by the union in Washington, Oregon and Kansas, and extends the contract to September 2016. The vote ratifies an agreement between the company and union that builds on an emerging spirit of cooperation and collaboration, and places production of the 737 MAX in Renton.
Boeing announced last week that the company would produce the 737 MAX in the existing Renton facility if IAM members ratified the tentative agreement.
