Boeing Machinists Strike on Hold SEATTLE, WA (KPLU) - Boeing's largest union, the Aerospace Machinists, voted overwhelmingly to reject the company's contract offer and go on strike. But their walkout is on hold for 48 hours at the request of the governor and a federal mediator.
The ballots were counted and the results announced at the Machinists Union hall in South Seattle.
KPLU business and labor reporter Bellamy Pailthorp was there.
