Boeing (BA) shares are rising Friday morning after it reached a tentative deal with its machinists union on a new contract, potentially ending a crippling 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:seven-week strike.

The Internat♋ional Association of Machinists (IAM) is asking its members to approve the sweetened offer from Boeing in a vote on Monday. Their members have been on strike since Sept. 13.

"In every negotiation and strike, there is a point where we have extracted everything that we can in bargaining and by withholding our labor," IAM District 751 said Thursday. "We are at that point now and risk a regressive or lesser offer in the future."

The new offer will also give workers the option of a $12,000 one-time ratification bonus; 401(k) coಞntribution; or "a combination of both," the union said.

"We encourage all of our employees to learn more about the improved offer and vote on Monday, Nov. 4," Boeing said.
