A union representing approximately 33,000 striking U.S. West Coast factory workers announced that it has met with Boeing for the first time since its members rejected an improved contract offer from the aviation giant last week. The two parties will continue to engage in discussions moving forward.
The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local 751 said that with the assistance of Acting U.S. Labor Secretary Julie Su, the union's bargaining committee "had a productive face-to-face meeting with the company to address key bargaining issues," Reuters reported.
