Evolution of Paid Holidays Evolution of Paid Holidays “Nothing Was a Gift” flyers are designed to help members understand how each contract provides building blocks for a stronger future and contract language evoles over time.

Progression is something our Union has continually sought to improve and reduce the time it takes for members to reach maximum pay. Over the years depending on the strength of the membership during negotiations, it has been give or take on this issue. We continue to push Boeing to reduce the time it takes to reach the maximum in current meetings. However, to date, they have not been interested in any positive changes.	COLA Evolution Cost-of-living Adjustments (COLA) are an important part of the economic package of our contract with Boeing. COLA is designed to help protect your paycheck from losing ground to inflation. Without COLA, if our pay stays the same when prices rise for essentials, our standard of living and purchasing power would be less. Evolution of COLArev1221a.pdf

Strike of 1989 and Overtime Nothing Was A Gift January 17th 2018 - Strike of 1989 This was a 48 day strike - Members in the Puget Sound area were at 43,000 and if you added Wichita (who were also included in the Corporate wide agreement) that number was 57,800 IAM members going on strike.
