BOEING is a going back to work following the settlement of a strike at its Seattle, Portland and Wichita plants. The dispute, which stopped production for two weeks, did delay delivery of aircraft for a number of carriers but the knock-on effect should be minimal. Though they are not required to return to work until 12 October, some workers are already back on the job. In November Boeing will start a new round of contract talks with the unions representing its engineers and technical workers. Those two contracts expire in the first week of December.
