Textron Aviation's "best and final" contract offer to its local Machinist Union workers is now out — and it includes a 26% wage increase over the life of the four-year proposed deal. The company announced late Wednesday that it had presented the offer to the union negotiating committee of District 70, Local Lodge 774 of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. The Local confirmed receipt of the offer on its website and on social media. District 70 of IAM represents nearly 5,000 workers at Textron Aviation, which is the city's second largest employer with around 10,700 full-time employees.

Saturday, members will decide whether to approve the contract, and then vote on whether to strike, if the contract is rejected. The strike vote requires two-thirds approval. The union's four-year contract expires Sunday.
