Boeing union says it could strike next week

ST. LOUIS — Boeing workers in St. Louis say they could walk out in as little as one week under a strike notice they plan to deliver to the company on Wednesday.

The workers voted down Boeing’s last offer on Sunday. The notice says they could strike as soon as June 23.

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers represents about 2,500 Boeing workers in St. Louis.

The union says Boeing has not made any attempt to schedule negotiations after workers rejected the company offer. A Boeing spokesman wasn’t immediately available to comment.
