Crew-8 astronauts undock in Dragon spacecraft from ISS<br /><br />About 33,000 workers will vote on the contract proposal on Wednesday, October 23, after a more than month-long work stoppage, which has halted production of models including its best-selling 737 MAX narrowbody jets.<br /><br />The new contract proposal announced on Saturday includes a 35 percent pay hike over four years, a $7,000 ratification bonus, a reinstated incentive plan and enhanced contributions to workers' 401(k) retirement plans, including a one-time $5,000 contribution plus up to 12 percent in employer contributions.<br /><br />Workers picketing on Monday, October 21, near Boeing's 737 factory outside Seattle were pessimistic about the proposal passing on.<br /><br />The new wage increase and the ratification bonus are an improvement over the previous offer, which was rebuffed by the striking workers, but the salary hikes still fall short of a 40 percent pay rise over four years demanded by the Machinists' union.<br /><br />REUTERS/NASA<br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe <br /> <br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net <br /> <br />Follow us: <br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook <br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram <br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter <br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion <br /> <br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital <br /> <br />Check out our Podcasts: <br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify <br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts <br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic <br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer <br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein<br /> <br />#TheManilaTimes<br />#tmtnews<br />#crew8<br />#internationalspacestation
