A potential strike in Seattle has been averted as Boeing has reached a tentative labor deal with its workers union. The preliminary agreement includes a 25 percent raise over the next four years, along with improvements to health care costs and retirement benefits.

The deal, which still needs to be approved by the workers, marks a significant development in the ongoing negotiations between Boeing and its employees. Avoiding a strike would not only ensure continued productivity at Boeing's facilities but also provide stability for the company's operations.

The 25 percent raise over four years is a substantial increase that reflects the value of the work done by Boeing's employees. This raise, coupled with the improvements to health care costs and retirement benefits, demonstrates Boeing's commitment to supporting its workforce and ensuring their well-being.
