Boeing workers have rejected another contract proposal, extending their nearly six-week strike at three Midwest plants. The union representing 3,200 workers announced the decision on Friday. These workers build fighter jets, weapons systems and the U.S. Navy’s first carrier-based unmanned aircraft. They’ve been on strike since Aug. 4, shortly after they rejected an earlier proposal that included a 20% wage hike over the life of the contract and $5,000 ratification bonuses. The company says no further talks are scheduled and it has a contingency plan to continue supporting its customers during the strike.
