Boeing workers on the West Coast are extending their six-week strike after rejecting a proposed contract Wednesday. Earlier in the day, Boeing reported a $6.1 billion loss. The deal, which was rejected by 64% of voters, included a 35% wage increase over four years. Striking workers are demanding a 40% raise and the reinstatement of their defined-benefit pension plan. This is a Boeing machinist speaking ahead of the vote.

Myles Sims: “I think it’s a decent contract, but I think it’s not what we asked for. And I feel like the contract, it’s not going to push the company forward for longevity in the long run. There’s a lot of new hires that are struggling. There’s even — I just feel like Boeing, in this economy, could do a lot better with all the money that we’ve made for them over the years.”
