Thousands of Boeing workers who build fighter jets and weapons go on strike
Several thousand workers at three Midwest manufacturing plants where Boeing develops military aircraft and weapons have gone on strike, potentially complicating the aerospace company’s progress in regaining its financial footing.
The strike started at Boeing facilities in St Louis; St Charles, Missouri; and Mascoutah, Illinois, after about 3,200 local members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers voted on Sunday to reject a modified four-year labour agreement, the union said.
