波音公司位于美国中西部的三家军用飞机和武器制造厂的工人于上周日投票决定，拒绝公司提出的最新合同方案，并将持续已进行近三个月的罢工行动。
此次罢工涉及伊利诺伊州马斯库塔以及密苏里州圣路易斯和圣查尔斯市工厂的约3200名机械师。其规模虽不及去年波音商用飞机组装部门3.3万名工人的罢工，但可能阻碍这家航空航天公司重振财务的进程。
国际机械师和航空航天工人协会（International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers，简称IAM）主席布莱恩·布莱恩特（Brian Bryant）在一份声明中表示：“波音声称听取了员工的意见——但今天的投票结果证明他们并没有。”
波音公司对投票结果表示失望，并指出票数非常接近。该公司在一份声明中称，越来越多工人表示“希望越过罢工纠察线”复工，并且“理解我们方案的价值”。
声明称：“工会的声明具有误导性，因为此次投票仅以51%反对对49%赞成的最微弱差距未能通过。我们现在将把重点转向执行应急计划的下一阶段，以支持我们的客户。”
机械师工会承认投票结果非常接近，但在给会员的信息中表示，只有“极少数”工人越过了罢工纠察线。
工会表示：“我们的团结依然坚不可摧，公司所言并非事实。”
工会领导人称，谈判因工资和退休福利等问题陷入僵局。而波音公司则辩称，工人的要求超出了中西部地区的生活成本水平。
在上周日投票之前，工会告知其成员，不建议他们接受公司的最新方案，称该方案在退休福利和资深员工加薪方面“没有实质性改善”。
今年夏天，在罢工开始前的几天里，谈判升级。工人们当时拒绝了一项较早的提议，该提议包含在五年合同期内工资上涨20%的条款。
波音公司迅速提出了一项修改后的协议，虽然没有提高拟议的加薪幅度，但取消了一项影响工人赚取加班费的排班规定。工人们同样拒绝了这份提议，并于次日早晨开始罢工。他们在9月份也投票否决了修订后的条款。（*）

Boeing workers at three Midwest plants where military aircraft and weapons are developed voted Sunday to reject the company's latest contract offer and to continue a strike that started almost three months ago.
The strike by about 3,200 machinists at the plants in Mascoutah, Illinois, and the Missouri cities of St. Louis and St. Charles is smaller in scale than a walkout last year by 33,000 Boeing workers who assemble commercial jetliners but threatens to complicate the aerospace company's progress in regaining its financial footing.
"Boeing claimed they listened to their employees -- the result of today's vote proves they have not," Brian Bryant, president of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, said in a statement.
Boeing said it was disappointed by the result and noted the vote had been a close one. The company said in a statement that it was increasingly hearing from workers "who want to cross the picket line" and "understand the value of our offer."
"The union's statement is misleading since the vote failed by the slimmest of margins, 51% to 49%," the statement read. "We are turning our focus to executing the next phase of our contingency plan in support of our customers."
The machinists' union acknowledged the vote was close but said in a message to members that "very few" workers have crossed the picket line.
"Our solidarity remains strong, and the company's claim otherwise is wrong," the union said.
Union leaders say talks have stalled over issues such as wages and retirement benefits, while Boeing has argued that workers' demands exceed the cost of living in the Midwest.
Ahead of Sunday's vote, the union told its members that it did not recommend approval of the company's latest offer, which it said "had no meaningful improvements" to retirement benefits and wage increases for workers with more seniority.
Negotiations escalated over the summer in the days leading up to the strike, with the workers rejecting an earlier proposed agreement that included a 20% wage hike over the life of the five-year contract.
Boeing quickly countered with a modified agreement that didn't boost the proposed pay raises but did remove a scheduling provision affecting the workers' ability to earn overtime pay. Workers rejected that offer, too, and went on strike the next morning. They also voted against revised terms in September.
