A large number of Boeing's factory workers will walk off at midnight Friday on strike after more than 90% rejected a tentative new employment contract, and more than 90% said yes to doing a strike. The results came out Thursday evening after union members of IAM 751 spent all of today lodging their votes.
A post in a social media group of Boeing employees is headlined "We Did It," a phrase being repeated around the plants, to fight back on the contract.
Within the Everett plant, reportedly the vote went 95.5% to reject the contract and about 97% for striking, a photo showed.
