Oct. 19 (UPI) -- Boeing reached a tentative deal Saturday with its unionized machinists to end a strike that has dragged on for over a month, delaying production and leading to thousands of layoffs, union officials say.

The Wall Street Journal first reported the preliminary agreement between the aerospace giant and approximately 33,000 employees represented by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers.
