Lockheed inks labor deal, workers reject union plea

摘要

A strike at Lockheed Martin Corp.'s Marietta, Ga., facility has been averted as members of the International Association of Machinists (IAM) have ignored their leadership's plea to reject the company's offer, instead accepting a new three-year contract. The vote at the Georgia builder of military aircraft represents another successful effort by a major U.S. aerospace contractor to eliminate traditional defined benefit pensions for new hires.
