Boeing has withdrawn its contract offer to its striking machinists, citing that the union's demands were "non-negotiable" and excessive.
The International Association of Machinists (IAM) has been on strike for 27 days, seeking higher pay, better savings plans, and more affordable health insurance.
The strike has significantly impacted Boeing, costing an estimated $3.5 billion, halting 737 production, and causing 33,000 workers to lose health care coverage.
While Boeing claims it made improved proposals, the union states Boeing refused to propose increases in key areas like wages, retirement, and vacation, leading to the current deadlock.
