NEW YORK — Boeing workers in the Seattle region decisively rejected the company's latest contract offer on Wednesday, extending the nearly six-week strike.

Almost two-thirds (64 percent) of the members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) District 751 rejected the contract, the union said on X.
