Striking Boeing machinists entered their eleventh day off the job, and will likely continue at the picket line for some time as no new negotiations are scheduled between their union and the company. The union, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, last went on strike against Boeing in 1995; that walkout lasted 69 days. The mood on the picket lines at Boeing's many plants in the Seattle area has been defiant.
