Unions take more precaution against voter fraud than the countryA Boeing Machinists union voted late Wednesday to approve a four-year contract extension, likely ending a months-long labor debate that provoked Republican attacks on the National Labor Relations Board and the White House.
Seventy-four percent of District 751 members voted to accept the deal. District 751 represents more than 45,000 active, laid-off and retired Boeing employees, most of them in Washington state. The contract increases wages and ensures Boeing's new 737 MAX plane will be built in Washington's Puget Sound region.
