Boeing Co. and union leaders representing 33,000 striking workers held fruitful talks Tuesday, with the help of the Biden administration’s top labor official, as they try to end a seven-week labor dispute that’s crippling Boeing’s US manufacturing.
Boeing and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers had a “productive face-to-face meeting” — with assistance from acting Labor Secretary Julie Su — to “address key bargaining issues,” the union said on its website.
