Machinists at Textron Aviation have voted to strike, rejecting a contract offer that included a 26% wage increase over four years and a $3,000 annual bonus. The strike, starting at midnight Sunday, affects nearly 5,000 workers and is the first at the company since 2008. The union, which has been negotiating since August, cited concerns over compensation and benefits. Textron expressed disappointment and is preparing for the strike's operational impact.
