Boeing. What a beautiful illustration of corporate corruption.

[jbenevy]

Anytime a Boeing recruiter called me, they only offered 1/3 of industry standard.

Looks like Elon has another industry to invest in...the young man with the beard was a good interview choice.

[rhatman]

The board needs changing. More than 5 years should be out!

[seth]

Boeing had gave many people jobs and medical and retirements hope they all can come to an agreement soon

[walawala-fods]

Boeing: we rather lose billions than pay millions to the working class. peak capitalism

[JazStormborn]

I love that guy who spoke, John Arnold you are a very eloquent comrade

Union is 2 edged sword, use it wisely or you loose everything. 40% is way too much for ask and make up % doesn’t work here, what if Boeing decides to move out of Washington, you all loose your job, put out a number to negotiate is an art, it has to be reasonable number, not 40% in my opinion. Good luck with whatever you asked for,

[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor-fr]

Notice how they will never accept accountability? It's always managements fault.

[kenmore]

This is just the beginning. Boeing's choice to go cheap and rake in profit as much and as long as possible is biting them in the butt now. They are past the point of recovery. If you work for them, look for a new job. If you own stocks, sorry. The dominoes have been pushed.

[kenwang]

Once BA goes belly up, you will get nothing.

What does aircraft safety have to do with

Boeing pulls healthcare coverage for striking machinists as WA taxpayers step up

[captainbeyond]

You are going to go the way of the uaw workers.

[mr.fantasticbaby]

They already made so much money even tho some of em doesn’t have high school and college degree and hardly speak English . Why need more money . Just layoffs and move Boeing factories . The planes will have mechanical issues in midair

[geert]

only in America does a laborer get 100k to screw in some bolts 😂 completely unsustainable

[derng]

Peanuts for workers and 1.5mil per year for CEO.

[shawnsmith]

As usual the news channel can’t even get the location correct.

[ranikalakaar]

It’s criminal to build it wrong on any account.

[xh]

BS. Even if the workers received the demand, the plane quality will still be under par. U.S. labor force quality sucks compared to Europe and Asia.
