unionhater,
Have you watched the debates? Have you noticed the topics?
Outsourcing, medical, and pay. The same things we are fighting for. I know it must have been a conflict on your TV, Debate or the Simpsons.

It dose not sound too good for SPEEA. The Engineers and Planners I have talked to say they are looking at a striks as well.
No IAM...No SPEEA.... Just the Charts, Sandwichs, and Excuses.
I hope this is not a ploy going back to the table just give the BAFO again to see if it will wear us down. It would probably just make us madder than all heck for thinking we are that stupid.

Boeing is not the company I hired into. Bill Boeing Jr. wasn't even invited to the 787 roll out. He was honored to come to every roll out since he left the company. The Company his Dad and he built.
Renton Preflight invited him to a Employee day, I hope it helps heal the wound. Boeing used to value it's people, not anymore.
I hope alot of the new hires don't decide to just leave Boeing. Boeing can't hire enough as it is. Boeing can't get the best new Engineers like they used to because other companies are offering better deals.

If you ever had anything to do with a made in China part you would not be so quick to out source there. I have had to deal with their parts.

SnowLovingGirl,
What is it like to always accept what is what givin to you? I have always stood up for myself and tried to better myself. Have you done this your whole life? Do you ever wonder why other people have what you do not?
I don't think I could live like that. I must be like being a hamster on a wheel.

Interesting how the Prez debate covered some of the same issue we are fighting for. Insurance, Off Loading, and dumping everything on the middle class.
It is NOT the Unions it is the CEOs

It strikes me odd that the failed Fannie Mae CEO, Herbert M. Allison graduated from Yale the same year McNearny did in 1971? Makes me wonder what they were teaching them. Bush was there in 1968. Hmmmmmmm.

Scott4,
Do you mean " The Real Work Force" that aspired to settle for low wages, no medical coverage, and no retirement. The work force who use the emergency room as their doctor because they have no insurance?
While the easy route is a path some choose to take. Their families will pay the price. When their kids can't go to a dentist because their "Dad" choose to do nothing to better themselves.
Is it a education thing?
Is it a drug test thing?
Or could it be the roll over and take the easy route and " I get what I get".

StrutGuy,
I am out at Renton Preflight and we some real quality issues from suppliers. Even after we reject the parts and charge the suppliers we get requests to change the charges from the buyers. My group refuses most.
Think of how many times your held up from doing your job because of some outside supplier.

If the Engineers, Planners, etc.. vote to go out on strike will they be Union Tards as well? Boeing is doing the same to them as they did to us.
