Boeing factory workers vote to reject contract and continue 6-week strike

Screw your workers for 30+ years, move your production, make them embarrassed with your company name by eliminating engineering excellence and outsourcing quality to lowest bidder, withhold raises for a decade, remove a real retirement plan and see what happens.

Good for them.

Boeing’s entire board of directors should be voted out of their positions
- Multiple crimes were committed throughout the development and rollout of the max, including lying to the FAA, and killed several hundred people. I'm willing to bet some, if not all, of them should be serving life in prison.
  But we live in corporate plutocracies, so they only suffered negligible financial consequences.
  
  To punish these "leaders" would set a bad precedent, pleasants 🤡
- The unions should be the board of directors.

  I'll fuckin cum right now.

Good for them. It’s not about a pay raise. It’s about the quality of care and benefits that keep them there. If they just accept some large pay raise with nothing else, then it just means the company will lay off enough workforce later to offset the increase while demanding more sacrifices from those still around. This is always about so much more than just money for workers.

A coworkers kid is working there (Seattle area). Word is they want the pension package back.
