Boeing workers on strike want 40% raise

[DigitalDrifter]

And I would love to have a rainbow unicorn to give to my daughter.

Yes, it's over four years, but come on, this is ridiculous and these kind of wage increases, are one of the reasons we have been living in the inflation-age.

Boeing workers on strike for the 1st time in 16 years after 96% vote to reject contract​

The overwhelming vote to reject a contract deal is expected to halt operations in the Seattle area – the hub of Boeing's commercial plane manufacturing – and disrupt the company's supply chain.​

• Of the roughly 30,000 union members, 96 percent of them voted in favor of the strike.
• Boeing's proposed deal included a pay rise of 25% over four years, which was far lower than the 40% workers had demanded.
• The decision also comes as Boeing faces intense scrutiny from regulators and customers amid a series of crises, including when door panel blew off a 737 Max Alaska Air jetliner while in January.

Maybe the workers should stop building planes where the parts fall off in mid flight....
Leave the crack pipes at home people and build a better aircraft....

The people in hell want ice water as well.

With all the problems Boeing has been having, they should be happy to still have jobs.

From a political standpoint, it will be interesting to see where the candidates line up on this one.

We know Harris will be behind the union.

Where will the blob land?

Unions protect poor workers.

Or buy company stock, then work like hell to raise the value of the stock, retire in 'tall cotton'.

Not sure Trump is all that in favor of unions. Few businesspeople want to pay fair wages. That's a big reason for the immigration problem.

they are skilled craftsmen and should be paid commensurate to current conditions.

The only thing consistent about the blob is his inconsistency.

Why not align wages to performance of plane builds and repairs. I wonder what pay cuts they would then have to endure.

Boeing is a failing company losing money hand over fist.

It seems sort of silly for the employees to think they should get a huge raise, when the reality is that most companies would ask for concessions to keep the joint afloat.

Maybe America should go on strike and stop paying taxes until Kamala sends home her illegal criminals...

I think they are pretty well paid now.

$115,748
The average estimated annual salary, including base and bonus, at Boeing is $115,748, or $55 per hour1. The estimated median salary is $106,976, or $51 per hour. However, the overall average salary at Boeing is $72,617 per year ($34.91 per hour). The Boeing Company pays its employees an average of $86,775 a year. Employees at The Boeing earn an average of $117k, mostly ranging from $96k to $255k based on 435 profiles

He's consistent on immigration. Sadly, also on tariffs.

Ahh, here you are!
Why did you run away when I challenged you?!!

Why can't Kamalla Harris run on who she really is?

ALL of the DEI/Affirmative Action/CRT crowd is like this. None have any merit at all. They lie, they hate hoax, they steal from the taxpayer, and can never come OUT OF THE CLOSET... And why not, since MERIT never mattered in their rise to power....

Believing a post from the op author? That's precious.

Is he really that consistent on immigration? His rhetoric is. He hates all brown people. But he won’t come out and say what he’s going to do insofar as how it will look on the ground. Are we going to have ICE agents going house to house checking people’s papers? He won’t say.
