A reported 94-95% of Boeing's 33K US manufacturing workers—representing a fifth of its total US staff—voted to reject their new contract offer Friday night, with 96% voting to go on strike.
Most of the workers are part District 751 of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) union, which is Boeing's largest union and covers mostly the Seattle, Wash., area. The rest are from District W24 in Portland, Ore.
