Boeing put forward a “best and final offer” to its striking factory workers Monday—promising larger raises and bonuses—but was met with pushback from the union leading the strike, which accused the plane maker of trying to circumvent the negotiation process and create divisions among the workers.

Boeing's so-called “best and final offer” includes pay raises totaling 30% over four years—up from 25% in the company’s first offer but lower than the union’s demand of 40%—doubles the ratification bonus to $6,000 and reinstates an annual productivity bonus not included in the orignal offer.

The offer, however, is contingent on the union workers voting to ratify it by Friday night—a deadline the union’s leadership has rejected, saying it does not give them “enough time to present details to the membership or even secure all voting locations.”

In a statement shared with Reuters, Boeing said its latest offer included significant improvements addressing feedback from the union and the company “first presented the offer to the union and then transparently shared the details with employees.”
