The union representing tens of thousands of striking Boeing machinists has endorsed the U.S. aerospace company's latest contract proposal.

If union members approve the deal and end the strike, Machinists must return to the factory by Nov. 12, according to a strike settlement agreement posted on the union’s website. The agreement also stated that all employees “will be returned to the same job they held prior to the strike.”

Boeing CEO urges striking machinist workers to participate in the vote on the new contract proposal that could end the 7-week strike.
