Hourly Everett Boeing Workers Getting a Pay Raise – Apprenticeship Program Openings

IAM 751 members are getting a raise this month.

Some good news from the Machinists Union in their IAM 751 September newsletter. 4% GWI at Boeing & $0.18 COLA Effective September 2, 2011…

Members at Boeing on the active payroll (or on approved leave of absence for 90 days or less) on September 1, will receive a 4 percent General Wage Increase effective September 2, 2011. In addition, each IAM member at Boeing will receive an additional 18 cents cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) on September 2, 2011 – generated for the quarter May, June and July 2011. The new 18¢ COLA will be added to the base wage prior to calculating the 4% GWI.

NOTE: 4% GWI will be paid as a lump sum for Grade A employees at the maximum rate per LOU #23.

There are several informative items in the monthly District 751 Newsletter. Here’s a reminder about an upcoming Apprenticeship Program.

The IAM/Boeing Joint Apprenticeship Committee will accept applications for Machine Tool Maintenance Mechanic apprenticeships beginning Wednesday, September 14, 2011. The Committee allows for Boeing and Non-Boeing interested parties to apply.

All interested parties must apply to the Boeing Company at http://www.boeing.com/careers/ from Wednesday, September 14, 2011 through Thursday, October 13, 2011 before they will be eligible to receive an apprenticeship application. Upon receipt, applications must be completed and submitted by Friday, November, 19, 2011. Here’s more information about the apprenticeship program.

The Local 751 website is also a great read once in a while in case you need a reminder about all of the community service and giving back that members do in and around Everett.
