Machinists at Boeing Co. approved a new labor contract Thursday, ending a nearly four-week strike that shut the company’s commercial airplane assembly plants.
About 80 percent of those voting accepted the three-year pact, union leaders said. A simple majority was needed to accept the offer. Union leaders had recommended approving the deal, saying it addressed key issues of pensions and health-care benefits.
The strike by about 18,400 machinists began Sept. 2.
