    BOEING Co's two largest labour unions said on Wednesday that they are working on a pair of legislative bills that would put conditions on US$8.7 billion in tax credits that Washington state gave to Boeing and the state aerospace industry in 2013.

    The tax credits were a condition of Boeing's decision to locate production of its 777X jetliner in Washington state, and altering them could change the business case for that decision.
