ST. LOUIS, MO (Aug. 8, 2025) – Alltru Credit Union, a certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) based in St. Louis is launching an emergency financial relief program for members impacted by the ongoing strike by International Association of Machinist and Aerospace Workers District 837, whose members work at Boeing’s facility in Berkeley, Missouri.
Alltru’s support includes a new Boeing Strike Loan which is a low interest, no fee loan up to $6,000 for current members who are District 837 union workers with direct deposit. Terms range from one to 12 months.

Beyond the Boeing Strike Loan, Alltru also offers debt consolidation, refinancing options, financial counseling, and their loan “Skip-A-Pay” program to members.
“We’ve walked alongside this community for decades and have weathered tough moments together,” said Laura Woods, Vice President of Brand and Product Strategy. “While we hope for a swift resolution to the strike, our job is to show up for our members right now.”
