Unless talks in Florida result in an agreement,
members of the Boeing Machinists union are poised to strike early
tomorrow when a 48-hour contract extension expires.
The contract affects 25,000 aircraft workers in the Puget Sound
area, about 700 in Wichita and the rest in Portland.
Workers voted this week to reject Boeing's offer and go on
strike, mainly over job security. Union leaders agreed to the
extension at the request of the Washington governor.
Seattle papers report negotiators went to Florida to meet with a
top union official who is attending a conference in Lake Buena
Vista.
Although Boeing's Wichita defense plant only employs about 700
machinists, a strike would affect Boeing suppliers -- particularly
companies like Wichita-based Spirit AeroSystems.
