Amid a union strike over a pay dispute, Boeing has made what it describes as its "best and final offer" to roughly 33,000 striking union machinists, intensifying efforts to end the strike, which has entered its second week.

Boeing said Monday it has raised its offer to the International Association of Machinists union in an effort to end the strike by 33,000 union members that has now entered its 11th day.
