Wichita ? Machinists at Hawker Beechcraft voted against a new seven-year contract offer that included a 10 percent pay cut and other concessions aimed at keeping the company from moving out of Kansas.

Bob Wood, spokesman for the airplane maker’s union, said 55 percent of the members voted against accepting the contract. The union had recommended its members accept the contract to protect two-thirds of the remaining jobs.

The contract required a simple majority for approval, and there was no strike vote.

Gov. Mark Parkinson brokered a deal last week to keep five major production lines in Wichita after reports emerged that Louisiana had offered the debt-ridden aircraft maker millions in incentives to lure its 6,000 jobs to Baton Rouge.

Kansas’ incentives were contingent on the company reaching a long-term contract with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers.
