Boeing and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) have reached a tentative agreement, potentially ending the ongoing strike that has halted production at the company’s 737 Max jetliner assembly site. The new deal includes increased wages, enhanced benefits, and job security measures, according to union officials. The tentative agreement still needs to be ratified by IAM members, which could take several weeks. If approved, the agreement would mark a significant step towards resolving the strike, which began in September 2021 and has had a major impact on Boeing’s production schedules.
