Boeing has withdrawn a contract offer that would have given striking workers 30% raises over four years after talks broke down.

The manufacturer said that it had boosted its offer for union workers for take-home pay and retirement benefits during two days of negotiations.

“Unfortunately, the union did not seriously consider our proposals. Instead, the union made non-negotiable demands far in excess of what can be accepted if we are to remain competitive as a business,” Boeing said in a prepared statement. “Given that position, further negotiations do not make sense at this point and our offer has been withdrawn.”

    “Instead, the union made non-negotiable demands far in excess of what can be accepted if we are to remain competitive as a business.”

    “They set a bare minimum we tried to mince under, and they said that’s our fault, so it’s their fault.”

    “Given that position, further negotiations do not make sense…”

    “And now we’re not even gonna pretend to try.”
