Talks not producing results

SEATTLE -- Days before a contract between Boeing Co. and the Machinists union is to expire, labor leaders said the two sides remain far apart and warned of a possible strike.

Seattle-based Machinists Lodge 751 on Monday countered the aerospace company's latest contract offer with their own proposal, but the union declined to provide details.

The latest Boeing proposal, submitted late Sunday, would boost cash bonuses by at least $1,500, but Machinists union leaders representing 18,400 production workers say it missed the point -- pensions.
