Boeing strikers officially lose all health benefits

Striking Boeing machinists are at risk of losing their company-paid health care as their standoff with the aerospace company continues.

Monday, Sept. 30 marked the 18th day of the strike and the last day of their employee health and insurance coverages.

Boeing told KING 5 that company-paid health care benefits will end for striking employees and their covered family members effective end of day September 30.

Why isn't the union helping out with health care cost with the 3 million a month that we pay them? We haven't striked in 16 years. We've paid the union over 480, 000, 000 in that time, maybe they should offer more than $250 a week in strike pay.

Less and less people willing to strike because they realized pension is impossible. People want go back to work or get a bit better deal but not for delusional pension wish.

No one wants to fly on the Airplanes that you put together because your quality of work is bad. Some layoffs needed not large pay raises.
