Boeing Co. said it had made a counter proposal to its largest union for a contract designed to secure manufacturing of its planned 777X jetliner in Washington state, but that union leaders had rejected the deal.

Boeing's statement Thursday came at the end of a third day of talks with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, which represents more than 32,000 of its employees. The union on Wednesday had made its own new proposal, following a vote on Nov. 13 in which its members overwhelmingly rejected an initial offer from the company that sought deep concessions from workers on pensions, health care and wages.
