The strike by 33,000 machinists will not disrupt airline flights, but it is expected to shut down production of Boeing's best-selling jetliners.
94.6% of members rejected a contract offer, while 96% voted to strike, reflecting dissatisfaction with the proposed wage increases in light of rising living costs.
Striking workers highlighted inadequate wage offers, stating the financial struggles faced due to increased housing prices, with one worker's pay rising just 2% over six years.
The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service has initiated new talks to encourage both the union and Boeing to negotiate a mutually acceptable resolution.
