MONTREAL — Union workers at an Airbus assembly plant north of Montreal have rejected a contract offer for the third time.

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, which represents about 1,300 workers in Mirabel, Que. facility, says nearly 70 percent of members voted against the agreement in principle.

Union spokesman Éric Rancourt said negotiators thought they had reached an agreement that would satisfy members, but the vote shows this was not the case.

Earlier this month, workers overwhelmingly rejected a second offer from the employer, with almost everyone voting in favor of strike action.
