Workers at Boeing Co.'s Wichita plant have avoided a strike by voting to accept the company?s third contract offer. 3,400 workers at the Wichita plant are represented by the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace, who made no recommendation to its members about the offer. The union felt that further gains would not be possible through negotiation alone, but many workers felt that there was not enough employee support to sustain a strike.
