New York CNN —Spirit AeroSystems, a key supplier to Boeing, is set to reopen next week after members of the International Association of Machinists voted Thursday to ratify a tentative labor agreement and end a week-long strike.
Members voted 63% in favor of the four-year agreement, according to vote results announced Thursday.
It’s the first new contract that the union members at Spirit have had in 13 years.
The union had put the company’s previous offer up to a vote earlier this month.
But rank and file members rejected that offer with 79% of members voting no, and 85% voted to strike, the union said.
