Striking Boeing workers have rejected a new offer from the plane-making giant, which included a 35% pay rise over four years.

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) union said 64% of its members voted against the proposed deal.

More than 30,000 of Boeing’s employees have joined the walkout, which started on 13 September, after an initial offer was rejected.

    the workers get ordered back to work

    What do you mean? Boeing can bark orders how long and how loud they want, why would the workers return if their conditions aren’t met?

      It is a bit ambiguous, isn’t it. To clarify, I’m talking about Boeing lobbying the government to end strike action and force the union to accept terms whether or not they want to.

      It’s happened in America, and it’s happened in cold America.
