From the article:

Unionized machinists at Boeing voted Monday to accept a contract offer and end their strike after more than seven weeks.

Leaders of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers district in Seattle said 59% of members who cast ballots agreed to approve the company’s fourth formal offer and the third put to a vote. The deal includes pay raises of 38% over four years, and ratification and productivity bonuses.

However, Boeing refused to meet strikers’ demand to restore a company pension plan that was frozen nearly a decade ago.

The average annual pay of Boeing machinists is currently $75,608 and eventually will rise to $119,309 under the new contract, according to the company.

    This is already part of the problem. You can’t really treat aircraft workers the way they have. When a 40 year worker retires, a new hire isn’t really a replacement. Looking solely at headcount is foolish.
