Boeing’s largest union is holding a rally and strike-sanction vote on Wednesday, ratcheting up pressure on company negotiators as contract talks enter a crucial phase ahead of a potential walkout in September.

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, which represents about 32,000 Boeing mechanics in Washington and Oregon, is taking over the home ballpark for the Seattle Mariners professional baseball team during a day intended to showcase union solidarity.
