Guys just go for the $1 million dollar salary / year while your out striking.

Tax unions to provide for all those on fixed income to help with the inflation they cause. Also hold them responsible for workmanship.

Employee's pension was revoked "illegally" 10 years ago & the feds should look in to it.

$1.4 million they’re going to be in debt
It’s going to be hard for employees to catch up

I hope this strike ends soon because a jerk of a contractor has been disrespecting a friend of mine there and his manager continues to push for delivery on his work. He’s been regretting to take that role prior to the strike occurring.

since company is already losing money due to strike. Lay them all off. I am pretty sure 80% of the employees will not find a better paying job and will be in line to get rehire again.

Imagine this for a min. Boeing does not agree to a settlement and all 30k union employees are let go. I mean it could happen right. @ this point Boeing is so deep in a financial hole that it would not be to hard to just let go all the striking union employees, and start over. If you think about it Boeing is basically starting over now if they give in to the unions demands. So then what does Boeing have to lose.And if they did just fire the 30k of union workers it would send a clear message that striking a company of this size will become a risky move. Right now the union thinks they have Boeing were they want them but do they really what do you think. ??? Thanks

Why is it, when Boeing was on top of the world as far as profits and gains, during the 70's, 80's & 90's, the employees did have all the things they're asking for now, as far as pay and retirement benefits.

Wage Increase - Yes
Pension - No

As simple as that. The company is not responsible for your retirement. If The workers can save money for the strike, they can do the same for the retirement.

You know, word on the street is that union workers have no money for rent because they spent their money on beer and overpriced Seahawks tickets. Any truth to that?

[PatamaGomutbutra]

Hope the agreement will reach soon. The pension is not practical todays’retirement plan and it is only inevitable distinct not only for Boeing.

Give us our Pension back good medical and a nice pay raise.
