Boeing workers, who have been on strike for more than a month, may soon return to their duties. This Wednesday, they are set to vote on a new company offer that includes a significant wage increase. This much-anticipated event could bring an end to the production halt that has affected the manufacturing of key aircraft models.

According to the union, Boeing's new proposal offers improved terms that may meet the workers' demands. The dispute has centered around wage increases and pension benefits, which led to the prolonged conflict. In recent days, negotiations were actively supported by acting U.S. Secretary of Labor Julie Su, who personally met with both parties in Seattle.

The work stoppage has significantly slowed down the production of aircraft, including popular models used globally. Boeing has found itself in a difficult situation, as the production halt and internal challenges have become one of the company's main obstacles this year. Additionally, a technical incident earlier this year with one of Boeing's aircraft has further highlighted the manufacturer's ongoing challenges.

Positive changes could come as early as this week if workers approve the new contract. While the outcome of the vote remains uncertain, many are hopeful that the agreement will allow the company to return to its usual pace. However, even with the strike ending, Boeing still faces significant challenges in stabilizing the situation.
