Boeing workers reject contract, extend strike: union

BOEING workers in the Seattle region decisively rejected the company’s latest contract offer Wednesday, extending the strike to nearly six weeks.

Nearly two-thirds of union members in International Association of Mechanics and Aerospace Workers District 751, or 64 percent, rejected the contract, the union told X.

Boeing’s latest offer had included a 35 percent pay increase, but did not restore a pension plan that many employees sought. AFP
