**SEATTLE, WA** – Boeing workers are enraged after their union rejected the company’s “final” offer of a 30% pay increase, citing the loss of their pension plan as a major sticking point.

The proposed deal, which sparked outrage among the striking machinists, would have seen their wages rise significantly over the next six years. However, the union, representing over 30,000 workers, is adamant that the loss of the pension plan is unacceptable.

“While the pay increase is significant, it doesn’t make up for the loss of a guaranteed retirement,” said a union spokesperson. “Our members are rightfully furious that they’re being forced to sacrifice their future security for a short-term bump in pay.”

The strike, which began last month, has caused major disruption to Boeing’s production lines, impacting both commercial and military aircraft deliveries. This latest rejection of the company’s offer further jeopardizes the resumption of production and could escalate the labor dispute.

Boeing has yet to respond to the union’s rejection and it remains unclear whether the company will make any further concessions. With no end in sight to the strike, the future of Boeing’s operations and the livelihoods of its employees hang in the balance.
