The Boeing strike is over. Workers with the International Association of Machinists union voted Monday to accept the airplane manufacturer’s latest offer, ending the most expensive U.S. strike in a quarter-century.

The latest offer came after two previous rejections and was approved by 59 percent. It’ll give workers a 43 percent raise over four years but it does not include the return of a pension plan, a sticking point in previous offers.

The nearly two-month long strike is estimated to have cost Boeing more than six-and-a-half billion dollars.
