Union members celebrate the turn down of the proposed Boeing Corporation contract Wednesday night at the Internal Association of Machinists District 751 Headquarters in Seattle, Nov. 13, 2013. The vote would have secured production of the new Boeing 777x for the Seattle area in exchange for heavy worker contract cuts. The union voted to turn down the new contract by 67 percent.

Mark Johnson tells the Machinists District 751 membership that Boeing's latest contract proposal was refused by machinists by 67 percent. Union members who called for a no vote did so to protest the Boeing Co.'s push to end a traditional pension plan and increase their health care costs. Workers would have received a $10,000 signing bonus if they approved the deal. (AP Photo/The Seattle Times, Dean Rutz)
