BOEING MACHINIST's STRIKE VOTE Wednesday Evening

THE BOEING MACHINISTS UNION STRIKE VOTE RESULTS ARE IN

BOEING MACHINISTS / ASSEMBLY WORKERS VOTE TO STRIKE

BOEING Co. aircraft assembly workers voted overwhelmingly to STRIKE for the second time in three years but union leaders agreed to hold off on the walkout for 48 hours at the request of Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire and a federal mediator. The vote late Wednesday was 87 percent in favor of a STRIKE that was to have begun at 12:01 a.m. PDT Thursday, after the expiration of the old contract covering more than 27,000 workers.
