Nov. 13 (UPI) -- Striking Boeing machinists in St. Louis voted to approve the aerospace company's latest contract offer and return to work on Monday, ending a three-month strike.
Some 68% of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District 837 voted to approve the contract on Thursday, KSDK reported.
"We are pleased with the results and look forward to bringing our full team back together on Nov. 17th to support our customers," a Boeing spokesperson said in a prepared statement shared with KSDK.
Workers get a 24% wage increase, which raises their average annual pay from $75,000 to $109,000 over the life of the contract, according to CNBC.
The approved contract includes a $6,000 bonus for ratifying the contract, a general wage increase over five years, including a 1.5% general increase for workers at the top of the earnings scale, plus a lump-sum increase of 2.5% during the contract's fourth year.
