It's another blow to the company battling a safety crisis and a $60bn (£45.73) debt pile.
Workers at aircraft maker Boeing are to go on strike for the first time since the global financial crash, piling more pressure on the troubled company. Not since 2008 have workers gone on strike. More than 30,000 staff are to take part in industrial action at one of the US's largest exporters.
About 7,500 employees would have seen pay rise 45% with another 5,000 workers in line for 53% raise, Boeing said. Concessions made in the past meant staff lost pension benefits and final assembly of Boeing plane the 787 Dreamliner was moved to a non-union factory. Turnout of union members was 95% in rejecting the contract.
