Talks between Boeing, machinists' union break down

Oct. 9 (UPI) -- Negotiations between airplane maker Boeing and its union broke down this week with both sides pointing the finger at the other for their current standoff with a strike that is approaching one month.

Boeing argued that the company improved its deal since the strike started on Sept. 13 but the union continued to hold onto demands it could not accept. Boeing said it withdrew its last offer and that further talk at this time seemed pointless.
