Boeing workers at the aircraft company's fighter jet production bases in Missouri and Illinois went on strike on Monday as around 3,200 workers voted to reject a modified four-year labour agreement, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers union said Sunday.
The strikes could delay the timeline for the production of the new sixth-generation F-47 fighter jet, a project personally backed by US President Donald Trump, who has called it the "most advanced, most capable, most lethal aircraft ever built.”
