Bipartisan Group of House Armed Services Committee Members Urge Boeing to Negotiate in Good Faith as Military Deliveries

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29, 2025 — A bipartisan group of 17 members of the House Armed Services Committee has signed a letter urging Boeing to return to the bargaining table and negotiate in good faith with more than 3,200 striking members of IAM Union (International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers) District 837 in the St. Louis area.
The bipartisan letter—led by U.S. Reps. Donald Norcross (D-N.J.) and Don Bacon (R-Neb.)—calls on Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg to “return to the bargaining table with IAM District 837 and negotiate a fair contract in a timely manner,” citing the growing impact of the strike on national security and U.S. defense programs. Boeing’s failure to propose a fair contract has already led the U.S. Air Force to publicly acknowledge that F-15EX deliveries are delayed.
“Boeing Defense plays a vital role in safeguarding our national security and sustaining U.S. leadership on the global stage,” the members wrote. “That success is powered by a dedicated and highly skilled workforce who every day produce planes and other defense equipment that the United States government and our service members rely upon.”
IAM District 837 members build and support the production of the F-15EX, F/A-18, T-7A, MQ-25, and the future F-47 fighter jet.
