Boeing Engineers Reject Contract: Boeing’s 15,000 engineers have rejected a three-year contract offer but on a close vote decided not to authorize union leaders to call a strike, setting up a likely new round of negotiations for the airplane manufacturer’s second largest union work force. Roughly 69% of the votes were for rejection of the contract. In a separate vote, about 12,000 technicians who belong to the same union approved their contract--a three-year pact offering more money directly than what the engineers were offered.
