Boeing Workers Who Build Fighter Jets On Strike

NEW YORK (AP) — The union representing Boeing employees who build fighter jets says they have begun a strike after about 3,200 workers at facilities in St. Louis and other locations voted to reject a modified four-year labor agreement. The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers union said the strike began at midnight. The union says its workers deserve nothing less than a contract that keeps their families secure and recognizes their unmatched expertise. Boeing says the company is disappointed its employees rejected an offer that featured 40% average wage growth and resolved issues about work schedules.
