Boeing announced its “best and final” offer to its 33,000 striking machinists Monday morning, including a wage increase of 30%, up from the previous offer of 25%.

The union says Boeing didn’t negotiate the latest offer with them. The company “took it upon itself to disrespect our entire Union by sending this offer directly to all members and the media without any prior communication from your Union,” the statement from IAM District 751 sent to KIRO Newsradio reads.
