NEW YORK (Reuters) - Boeing Co and its striking machinists' union will resume talks on Thursday, the union said, as the two sides looked to end a six-week stoppage that has halted production at Boeing's Seattle-area plants.
The 27,000 members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers rejected BOEING (BA.NY)s three-year work contract offer last month, and walked out on September 6.
The two sides briefly tried to find a compromise earlier this month, with the help of federal mediators, but talks collapsed as the parties failed to find common ground on job security and outsourcing of work.
Boeing did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
Wall Street analysts say the strike is costing Boeing about $100 million a day in revenue, and will push its delayed 787 Dreamliner even further off schedule.
Boeing, which has not yet detailed the financial effect of the strike, is set to report quarterly earnings on Wednesday.
