Boeing factory workers voted against the company’s latest contract offer and remain on the picket lines six weeks into a strike that has stopped production of the aerospace giant’s bestselling jetliners.

Union leaders in Seattle said 64 per cent of members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers who cast ballots Wednesday voted against accepting the contract offer.
