King County Executive Dow Constantine tonight praised ratification by the Aerospace Machinists of a four-year contract extension:

"Congratulations to the Machinists and The Boeing Company for taking this step to secure the future of aerospace jobs in our region, at Boeing and hundreds of aerospace suppliers across the state.

"I've seen from personal experience in King County government how much can be accomplished when management and labor work together.

"Our task is to continue to make King County the best place it can be to build airplanes, and the parts that go into airplanes. Through the King County Aerospace Alliance and the Washington Aerospace Partnership we will support the continued growth of the Washington aerospace industry, to compete and win in a changing global economy."
