SEATTLE (AP) - Boeing Co. machinists on Wednesday overwhelmingly approved a strike authorization measure in a show of support for negotiators involved in contract talks with the aerospace company.
About 11,000 members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District Lodge 751 showed up at Safeco Field and about 99 percent voted in favor of the strike authorization, union leaders said.
The vote was procedural and does not actually authorize a strike or indicate that one is likely.
