Brownback says multiple states are trying to attract the aircraft jobs. A majority of the Machinists union voted earlier this month to reject a new Boeing contract. Part of the rejected agreement said work on the 777X would be completed in Washington state. The vote is what has led Boeing officials to consider other locations.
