Boeing strike continues after union vote to reject contract offer

The Boeing machinists union rejected the company's latest contract offer on Wednesday by 64%, the union president announced on Wednesday night.

“We have not achieved enough to meet our members demands," said Jon Holden, International Association of Machinists District 751 president. "We remain on strike."

The union strike has crippled Boeing's manufacturing lines and was thought to be coming to an end as machinists voted on the company's latest contract offer to get over 33,000 of their employees back to work.

Union members voted Wednesday.

Boeing machinists went on strike at midnight on Sept. 13 after time ran out on their current contract and an overwhelming majority of union members voted to reject the new one.
