[WASHINGTON] Boeing is in advanced talks with its machinists' union to assemble the company's new 777X jet and build its wings in the Seattle area, several people familiar with the negotiations told Reuters.
Where the jet should be built is one of the most keenly awaited decisions in global aerospace.
Workers at Boeing's commercial base in Washington state are competing with non-unionised workers in southern states where wages are lower. Washington state officials are also working on incentives to keep the work local.
