Contract talks between Boeing and more than 3,200 striking aerospace workers are set to resume Monday with help from a federal mediator. The workers, based in the St. Louis area, have been on strike since August over disputes regarding wages and job security. Their absence has already delayed F-15EX fighter jet deliveries to the U.S. Air Force. The union recently filed an unfair labor practice charge, accusing Boeing of refusing to bargain in good faith. Lawmakers from both parties have criticized the company’s handling of the situation.
