Boeing has delivered its final offer to its Machinists union for a new three-year contract. But the company hasn’t revealed yet what’s in that offer.

The union said it’s reviewing the contract line by line and will make a statement later today.

Within the next hour or two, Boeing should post it on the Negotiations Web site.

Look for a union response at the Machinists Contract Web site.

The company made its first full offer to the union last Friday and its second offer Tuesday.

Yesterday, Boeing Machinists in Everett staged a rally in a show of solidarity.
