Boeing workers vote to reject wage deal, continue strike
Boeing factory workers voted to reject a contract offer and continue a more than five-week strike on Wednesday, in a blow to investor and management hopes of a resolution to the acrimonious dispute.
The vote was 64% in opposition to the deal, which offered a 35% rise in wages over four years.
The union vote to push Boeing for better terms reflects years of resentment from workers who felt cheated by the company in talks a decade ago and deepens a financial crisis.
Union leaders said they were ready to immediately resume negotiations with Boeing on the first new contract since 2014, when the company used the threat of moving production of the new version of the 777 out of the region to push through a deal that ended traditional pensions.
«After 10 years of sacrifices, we still have ground to make up, and we're hopeful to do so by resuming negotiations promptly,» leaders of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers said in a statement after votes were tallied.
