A lot of reasons for them to vote no but one of those reasons is they’re ripping them off on raises. They give them raises with one hand but take them back with the other by eliminating a bonus program that paid them 3 to 4% yearly.

‘Hard No’: Boeing Workers React to Tentative Agreement

With their contract expiring at midnight on Thursday, the Machinists union at the aircraft giant Boeing announced a tentative contract agreement September 8. It was a shock to many union members. “Insulting,” “Joke of a contract,” and “Hard no” were some of the more polite reactions registered...

This IAM Local going all the way back to 2008 seems to have a lot of questions they should answer for.

“New hires, old hires, retirees, we’re sticking together for a common goal”: Boeing machinists explain what is at stake in their strike

Boeing machinists are expressing the true feelings of workers across the country and around the world, including the enormous opposition within the working class to the assault on living standards, the increase of social inequality and attacks on basic social rights.

751 isn’t a local lodge. It’s one of the largest District Lodges in the IAM.

Bureaucracy. That guy Jon Holden should resign in disgrace. He won’t though of course.

Boeing increases its offer, but calls it its last ... "Best And Final Offer"

Definite increases, but is it enough?

Stay Strong Gentlemen.

That final offer wasn’t negotiated between the company and the union.

I never said it was.

I merely pointed out that Boeing upped their offer, and labeled it "Best And Final Offer"

It was obviously true when I first posted on the matter, as clearly illustrated in the very link you provided ...

" Despite Boeing providing what it described as the final and best offer to its striking machinists in the Pacific Northwest and California, the United States, represented by two different International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) lodges, the company and the unions will sit down for another round of negotiations on September 27.

Boeing clearly tried to bluff, and got called on it - Good for the striking machinists
