The National Labor Relations Board has formally dropped its unfair labor practices case against Boeing, a day after members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) ratified a new four-year contract with the company. The sides closed the new labor deal, which included a commitment by Boeing’s to build the 737 MAX in Renton, Wash., after the IAM promised to petition the NLRB to withdraw the complaint against the company.
