The union representing assembly line workers at Boeing's Everett plant late Wednesday presented Boeing a new contract proposal in an attempt to secure production of Boeing's newest plane for Puget Sound.

If the two sides can agree on a new deal, Boeing would build both the 777X and its composite wings in Western Washington.

The Machinists Union said it isn't disclosing the terms of the proposed deal.

“We tried to craft a proposal that would meet the needs of our members, while also ensuring the long-term success of the Boeing Co. in Washington state,” said Tom Wroblewski, the president of Machinists Union District Lodge 751 in a message to members.
