Boeing bosses are staring down the barrel.

The twists and turns of the past week paint a picture of managers badly wrong-footed by the depth of fury among workers who tossed out a 25% pay rise deal and launched strike action.

“They probably didn’t think that we had enough people for the strike,” Kushal Varma, a Boeing mechanic, told Reuters. “But this is a movement of people who are willing to put their livelihoods on the line to get what’s fair.”

    Sick days was only a part of what they wanted. Extremely disingenuous to make it out like all their demands were met. I think trump can get fucked, but to ignore the issues with dem leadership is to enable their poor behavior.

      Can you provide me some more information about this? Because you made it sound like Biden was sitting in the Oval Office rubbing his hands together, waiting to tell these workers to get fucked, which IS disingenuous, when the OBEW themselves have issues this statement. I’m not a rail worker, they are, I’m going to listen to what they’re telling me about their experience.

      Unless that’s you, you’re an IBEW worker affected by this deal, I’m not gonna do a ‘trust me bro’ on this.

        I stated facts. Ones that you can easily verify with an internet search. What you read into my words is not of my concern. While you sit there thinking I have ill intent towards biden, I don’t. I voted for him and was prepared to again. It doesn’t change what he did and turning a blind eye to someone’s actions because of their party affiliation is why America is slipping in the wrong direction. Accountability for all.
