Boeing engineers begin vote on strike next week

Just when Boeing really needs its engineers, they’re voting on whether to strike.

It’s bad timing for Boeing. The aircraft maker is working around the clock to solve battery problems that have grounded its 787s around the world, and unionized engineers are a big part of that effort.

The vote begins on Tuesday and runs through February 19. The union has recommended that its members reject Boeing’s contract proposal, hoping the company offers something better, or they may strike.
