svelteParticipantSame old story. When a company is doing poorly, it claims “the marketplace has changed” and wants concessions from the union.

But when times change and it is flush with work, it is reluctant to lean the other way and let the union share in the prosperity.
And yes, Airbus has had problems with its delivery schedule, but the Dreamliner has been postponed once already and time will tell if that gets repeated.

ParticipantIf you want to “share in the prosperity”, buy the stock or start a rival company. Unions are as bad as what they stand against.

ParticipantThe unions want job security. Boeing is farming more and more of it’s work out to contractors, and there is no way for the union to make sure those contractors are also union. So that is what they are striking about. The rest of it is most likey just posturing.
If I was Boeing, this is something that would tell me to start farming even more stuff out. This is what has gotten the big 3 auto makers introuble. Guarenteed workforces at payrates that are the top of the industry.
