Boeing, union resume talks as strike empties Seattle plants

Negotiators from Boeing and the machinists union representing its workers resumed talks Tuesday after some 33,000 employees went on strike late last week, effectively shutting down two Seattle-area factories.

Talks got underway Tuesday morning, said a person familiar with the matter.

The objective is "to reestablish the relationship" between the union and Boeing, said a second person close to the discussions.

Members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District 751 have been picketing 24 hours a day following the walkout early Friday morning, shuttering factories in Renton and Everett that assemble the 737 MAX and 777.

"We stand united, stronger than ever, because we fight side by side with an unwavering belief in our cause," the IAM said late Monday on its website.
