More than 3,200 unionised workers who assemble Boeing's fighter jets in the St. Louis area in America have rejected the latest contract offer from management and gone on strike.
Boeing Defence says it's ready for the work stoppage and will implement a contingency plan.
According to the company, the rejected four-year contract would have raised the average wage by about 40 percent.
It also included increasing periodic raises, more vacation time and sick leave.
Members of the union say they "deserve a contract that reflects skill, dedication and the critical role they play in the nation's defence."
The St. Louis workers assemble Boeing's F-15 and F/A-18 fighters, as well as the MQ-25 aerial refueling drone being developed for the U.S. Navy.
