Do you have any news sources on that?

Everything I've read so far says that the Machinist Union theatrically tore up the Boeing's proposal last night, and they said it was a garbage deal. However, Boeing said they had until the 13th to vote...then they would start looking at alternate locations for the 777X if it was a NO.

There aren't really any negotiations. Boeing made their offer. The Union seems to think they are just bluffing. They aren't. Good luck with all of that. The land has already been purchased here and the roads funded and planned. They hate that Union and don't want to be involved with them.

Well, lets hope the union in WA continues to over play their hand and Boeing moves that sweet business to Charleston.

I think this was their intent. They understand the union and the demands they make that are above and beyond towards the ridiculous at times. This time Boeing can say they did their part but the unions just wanted too much. Bad for the unions, likely a good thing for Charleston.
