NEW YORK — US aviation giant Boeing has once again improved the conditions in its contract offer to thousands of striking workers, hoping to put an end to a painful strike that has paralyzed its two main factories for seven weeks.

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) District 751, the union which represents more than 33,000 workers who went on strike on Sept. 13 in the Seattle area, on Thursday endorsed the new offer and set a vote for Monday.
