Striking workers have been coming to the union building in Everett to read the new contract offer, and after waiting more than 50 days for a new contract -- all strikers told KIRO 7 they'll emphatically vote no.

KIRO 7 reporter Gary Horcher said he couldn’t find a single Boeing machinist willing to vote yes on the new deal and go back to work.

"You're voting yourself into the unemployment line," said machinist Bruce Bishop.

Bishop showed the part of the contract dealing with subcontracting. It basically says Boeing agrees to let the union know if fewer than 10 employees are going to be laid off at any one time.

Bishop said he believes that gives Boeing the right to quietly lay off workers in big numbers.

"We have no recourse. This puts it in black and white that there's 10 people at a whack -- they can go to every single crew -- 10 people off this crew, 10 people off this crew, 10 people off this crew. Everybody's gone, 10 people at a time." Bishop said.

Off-camera, union leaders told KIRO 7 that workers are overreacting to a big misunderstanding.

They said nothing in the contract allows for mass layoffs; in fact, they said it protects thousands of jobs from being outsourced and gives everyone a raise and cheaper health benefits.

Veteran workers said they're not buying it. Most said they're not happy with the pay or benefit offer, either.

"Yeah we got a dollar more in retirement than the first contract; that was really great," said machinist Walt Mickelbart.

Machinist union representatives said they believe the anger is hysteria caused by misinformation.

They hope to clear it up before 27,000 members vote on Saturday morning.

The Boeing machinists union has put all the language from the company's contract offer on its Web site.

According to a union statement, the deal provides total wage increases of 15 percent over the four-year life of the contract, compared with a total of 11 percent over three years in Boeing's last pre-strike offer.

It includes bonuses over the first three years of the contract, pension increases and the preservation of current medical benefits -- an issue Boeing had sought to change.

The pact also strengthens provisions for the union to bid against subcontractors for work and includes agreements to protect jobs held by workers such as forklift drivers and to limit vendor deliveries to the shop floor.

The strike has shut down jetliner production and idled 27,000 Boeing workers. Most are in the Puget Sound area with others in the Portland area and Wichita.
