Boeing workers threaten strikes at US fighter jet factories
Members of a union representing workers who assemble fighter jets in two Boeing factories rejected the US aircraft manufacturer's proposed new contract on Sunday, paving the way for possible strikes. 'IAM Union members delivered a clear message: the proposal from Boeing Defence fell short of addressing the priorities and sacrifices of the skilled … workforce,' the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers said in a statement. More than 3,200 members of the union employed at Boeing facilities in the Midwestern states of Missouri and Illinois rejected the company's contract offer. According to the union, their contract expires at the end of the day on Sunday. The workers part of IAM branch 837 will go on strike if no deal is reached with the aerospace giant in the next seven days. The move could deal a serious blow to the company, after a seven-week long walkout by Seattle-based workers last year crippled two of Boeing's major assembly plants. 'We're disappointed our employees voted down the richest contract offer we've ever presented to IAM 837 which addressed all their stated priorities,' said Dan Gillian, vice-president of Boeing Air Dominance and general manager of the site in St Louis, Missouri.

US business leaders to visit China as both sides meet for latest round of trade talks
A high-level American business delegation will visit China this week on a trip that coincides with the latest round of US-China trade talks, according to two sources familiar with the matter. The trip to Beijing will be organised by the US-China Business Council and led by FedEx chief executive Rajesh Subramaniam, the council's board chair. The full list of visiting business leaders and schedule is not known but both sources said that Boeing executives and the president of the council Sean Stein were certain to be part of the delegation. 'They are expected to meet with Chinese officials - potentially to revive business discussions,' a source said. The council has not responded to requests for comment. The council regularly organises visits to China that coincide with significant events and involve meetings with senior officials. Last year's visit coincided with a major policy meeting in Beijing and included senior executives from Apple, Boeing, Goldman Sachs and Micro Technology. The upcoming visit will be the highest-level American business delegation since US President Donald Trump started his latest tariff war in April.
