Spirit AeroSystems Negotiations with Machinists<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The discussions will persist throughout the week, with a firm commitment to reaching a prompt resolution on an equitable contract that fosters competitiveness while addressing the concerns of employees and other stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gentile also expressed gratitude for the continuous support provided by the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposal, which had been agreed upon by both sides\u2019 bargaining committees, included substantial wage increases, a $7,500 ratification bonus, and improvements to paid time off and job security. In addition to rejecting the proposal, the IAM local members also voted to authorize a strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expressing disappointment in the outcome of the vote, Tom Gentile, President & CEO of Spirit AeroSystems, stated that the company has been in continued discussions with IAM representatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gentile emphasized that the company\u2019s focus has always been on providing a fair and competitive contract to its IAM-represented employees. He expressed a commitment to reaching an agreement with Local 839 as quickly as possible for the benefit of the employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agreement Expected<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The demand for aircraft production rises with the return of air travel to pre-pandemic levels. Gentile stressed the importance of supporting Spirit customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further, He noted that the company, its employees, and other stakeholders are vested in continuing operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to Wednesday\u2019s vote, Spirit temporarily suspended production in Wichita. Further, the company anticipates that production operations will remain suspended until an agreement is reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gentile expressed his pride in Spirit employees and their role in shaping the company\u2019s future. Subsequently, He looks forward to working together to build a bright future for Spirit AeroSystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
