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.

I really support them and wish them the best, but I can't begin to believe that Boeing (or any other company these days) will ever go back to providing a pension. Those are from the America of yesteryear.

I hope I'm wrong.
