Striking machinists at Boeing may soon find resolution as their union has announced a critical vote scheduled for Wednesday on a 'negotiated proposal.'

The strike, ongoing since September 13, involves approximately 33,000 unionized workers predominantly based in Washington state. Their work stoppage has brought the assembly lines of Boeing's lucrative 737 MAX and other aircraft models to a standstill.

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local 751 revealed on social media that the proposal emerged with assistance from Acting U.S. Secretary of Labor Julie Su, suggesting it's worth serious consideration by the striking workers.
