Textron Aviation officials and leaders of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers are expected to meet on Thursday.

Textron workers are in the third week of their strike, and union members said they are focused on issues including a general wage increase, health insurance and paid time off.

Union president Brian Bryant stood with local machinists on Monday as they walked the picket lines.   Bryant traveled to Wichita to be with the striking workers, and he called the contract offered by Textron Aviation last month “disrespectful.”

Textron officials said they’re committed to negotiate a contract in good faith, saying in a social media post,  “We value our longstanding relationship with Union leaders and members and remain committed to collaborating and agreeing upon a contract that acknowledges employees’ contributions, setting us all up for long-term success.”
