Boeing machinists reject new contract, continuing costly walkout

Boeing machinists on Wednesday voted to reject a new labor contract proposal and continue a costly weekslong strike that halted production of some of the embattled company's top-selling planes, resulting in furloughs and layoff announcements for thousands of workers. 

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers announced on social media that 64% of members voted to reject the deal. 

"The strike will continue at all designated picket locations," the union said.
