Boeing Co.’s largest union said talks with the planemaker have broken off as the two sides failed to reach a deal to potentially resolve a debilitating strike.

There was no progress made on pensions, and the company “would not engage substantively” on issues such as higher pay and quicker wage progression, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers said in a statement on Friday night. No further talks are scheduled for now, it said.
