Earlier, Boeing's boss warned the firm was at a "crossroads" as losses surged to roughly $6bn.

Striking Boeing workers have rejected a new offer from the plane-making giant, which included a 35% pay rise over four years.

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) union said 64% of its members voted against the proposed deal.

More than 30,000 of Boeing’s employees have joined the walkout, which started on 13 September, after an initial offer was rejected.

    The article is missing why they rejected the 35% over 4 years. What do they actually want? Do they want 35% now? I’d also be interested to know how much money they are willing to lose if the strike costs Boeing 100M per day. Are the wages being asked significantly more than that? If they could raise 35% right now and it were to cost them 100M, then putting offers on the table that are likely to fail and losing 100M/day is just idiotic.

      Their primary ask is for the reinstatement of pension plans. Boeing has not put forward any offer that includes pensions. 35% over 4 years is also significantly less when you factor in the inflationary losses of the last four years
