Boeing withdraws 30% pay rise offer to striking workers amid stalemate

In third week of standoff, planemaker has no plans for further talks with union, which is seeking 40% increase

Boeing has withdrawn a 30% pay offer for striking workers as talks between the company and unions reached a stalemate in the third week of a standoff over pay.

The US planemaker said it had removed its offer that would result in a pay increase by almost a third over three years for 33,000 US staff, with no further negotiations with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) planned.
