The strike started at 12:01 a.m. PDT, less than three hours after the local branch of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers announced 94.6% of voting workers rejected the proposed contract.

The labor action involves 33,000 Boeing machinists, most of them in Washington state.

The strike will not affect commercial flights but represents another setback for the aerospace giant.
