Machinists Union Votes on Second Contract with Spirit AeroSystems Amidst Tough 2023

Polls have closed for the second tentative contract agreement vote between the Machinists Union and Spirit AeroSystems. Union members have expressed more positive feedback compared to the previous version, with hopes that this version will pass. Core health insurance, which expired with the previous contract, is a major concern for workers who need coverage for prescription safety glasses and other medical needs. Some workers believe there is room for improvement in the contract, but the union president considers it a good proposal.
