NEW YORK — Union leaders expect a close vote when 33,000 Boeing hourly workers weigh a sweetened contract offer that could end an almost six-week strike, the union's chief said on Tuesday.'I think it's going to be a tight vote,' Jon Holden, president of the Seattle-based machinist union, told CNBC on the eve of Wednesday's vote.'There's a lot of emotion tied here,' Holden said.
The strike has halted work at two Seattle-area assembly plants and production of its 737 MAX and 777 planes. Last week, Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems said it would furlough staff as a result of the stoppage.Mike Corsetti, a quality inspector in Everett who has worked at Boeing for 13 years, plans to vote 'no' because of Boeing's refusal to negotiate on the pension and concerns that the deal does not do enough to guarantee that health care costs will be limited.
