BUNK! Boeing 'engineered' the strike because their vendors/subcontractors overseas were behind in production of plane parts for assembly. Contracts with vendors/subcontractors state that Boeing will pay fines for late delivery of planes UNLESS there is a work stopage (strike) on this end. SO ... to save on fines, politics dictated a strike would save money in the long run ... at the expense of workers in the USA in this economy. What gives?
