- More than 30,000 Boeing workers, members of the company’s biggest unionized group, were set to strike Friday after staff rejected a new labor contract and approved a strike with a 96% vote.
- The work stoppage will halt production of most of the company’s aircraft, including its best-selling 737 Max.
- The strike is another costly blow to the company trying to increase output and improve its reputation.
How long until Biden orders them back to work to save the only domestic manufacturer of commercial airliners?
How long until a union continues a strike after they’ve lost the job protections of striking workers?
Maybe this one will fly. These specialized workers would take many years to replace. Bailouts don’t matter when there’s no one else qualified.
They offered them a decent wage upgrade and they still said no, so you know the conditions are the issue not just the money. If i were forced to make death machines that keep falling apart, i wouldnt give a fuck about some little offer like that either.
They asked for wages to be adjusted for inflation since the last wage increase. Boeing’s counter was half. They deserve much more than they ask for. I applaud them for demanding what they’re due.
Yeah maybe my comment sounded kind of negative towards the workers. I just wanted to say that you cant solve all your problems with money and that they didnt/shouldnt allow the management to silence them with it.
