Chicago | Boeing’s largest labour union is seeking a board seat at the plane maker, saying “we have to save this company from itself” as quality control concerns draw scrutiny from customers, passengers and regulators.
The International Association of Machinists District 751, which represents 32,000 workers at factories in the US state of Washington, began contract negotiations with Boeing this month. One of its aims is to have a greater voice at the company, district president Jon Holden said in an interview.
