Boeing workers take strike action in fight for better wages
AIRCRAFT assembly workers walked out on strike on Friday at Boeing factories near Seattle after union members voted overwhelmingly to go on strike.
The workers rejected a tentative contract that would have increased wages by 25 per cent over four years.
Members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) voted by 94.6 per cent to reject the proposed contract and 96 per cent to approve a strike.
