RENTON, Wash. (CNN) – About 33,000 Boeing workers are on strike today.
That’s after union members overwhelmingly voted down a proposed contract and authorized the walkout to start overnight.
The strike affects workers at facilities in multiple states.
The rejected contract lists a 25% raise spread out over four years.
Boeing says that’s its largest-ever general wage increase, but many workers say it’s not enough.
Some say they’re upset union negotiators settled for less than the 40% they had wanted.
The Boeing strike could impact the U.S. economy. But analysts say it’s unlikely to affect consumer travel.
