After rejecting the company's second proposed contract, union members in the St. Louis area began striking Monday. They said they will not stop until they receive a fair deal.

The union representing Boeing employees have begun a strike after about 3,200 workers at facilities in St. Louis and other locations voted to reject a modified four-year labor agreement.

Some 3,200 Boeing workers who build fighter jets in St. Louis and another Missouri site and one in Illinois are on strike, their union says.
