That is a problem in my book. I started working at Boeing this past summer and I work circles around many of the GOOD WORK ETHIC old timers (not), and I will be the one to get laid off just because of lack of time and not value to the company.

I don't have the reserve that many of you do, and don't want to cross the line.The Union has put many of us in a very difficult situation and clear reason why. This is my first time dealing with a Union and so far I haven't been too impressed. Time to go back and do the jobs that we were hired to do.

From the BAFO there were items that needed to be address and I feel they were. Now it's not enough, if you don't like it then quit your job and see if you can find something better outside of Boeing. I just started 4 months prior to the beginning of the strike, when I first saw the contract I was quite happy with it. After talking to some of the members that had been there for years I started to see what all the concerns were about. I voted to turn down the contract. This time I am going to vote for the contract. Looking forward to getting back and do what I was hired for. Wed, 29 Oct 2008 16:04:30 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/33457899.html#IDComment9268963
