The people in hell want ice water as well.

OJ Simpson wants ice water.

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?

who is the blob?.....

Boeing greed led to this place, Why more profit (money) has become more important than PEOPLE.

Give the builders substandard parts that's what happens. That's on the Ceo and upper management 110 percent. Please work hard for low wages....the american ceo thought process.

Are the builders aware that they re installing substandard parts or are they ignorant drones? Sounds like the blame game while American lives are at stake.

Good thing Boeings former attorney Luttig is a Never Trumper. He resigned immediately after the last disaster

Will be interesting to see the blob supporters’ reaction in their blob sides with the workers

How do you know that your bosses are rolling in dough. I have seen many company owners go without a paycheck for months just to keep his company going and his employees paid.

I know the business.

That said I once worked for a business that paid everyone in full except the owner. He confided to me that he often paid me more money in a year than he made. He paid me others in my department union scale. When the rest of his employees elected the union and struck, he signed the contract but went out of business six months later.

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

How are these kind of wage increases contributing to inflation when nobody has got this kind of a wage increase?

How's the Secretary of Transportation handling this?

This strike is not a federal issue.

That owner shouldn't have hired out

?

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....

One of the results of out-sourcing so beloved by CEOs and shareholders caused all that, not unions. Of course shareholders know best about building stuff, cuz only expert engineers every buy stocks and vote for dumb shit like out-sourcing.

Taking it in the ass, I'm sure.

Interesting thank you for that perspective....

 

[EvilCat Breath]

that dei hire sure looked presidential tuesday night.

has trump called her "dumb as a rock" since he now knows better?

](on edit : trump may be too stupid to know how badly he was beaten, but he does know he is toast, and will not deal with it. )

She's so dumb she had to have the questions in advance and both moderators helping her.

 

[airplanemechanic]

who is the blob?.....

Joe Biden, but it's an insult to a perfectly good blob.

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

The shop workers aren't paid salaries, they're hourly pay.

What;s the average net worth of homeless shelter people if 99 of them are worth zero and Bill gates walks in? Minimum wage adjusted fo real inflation would be around $28 an hour, so $35 an hour doesn't sound excessive at all for semi-skilled work, and of course out-sourcing parts among hundreds of companies inevitably leads to fuck ups. There isn't much quality control and cooperation between engineering depts. and shop floor supervision. Boeing's management shot itself in the foot, catering to dipshit stockholders..

 

[EvilCat Breath]

This company has done a piss-poor job of management.

They need to pay their employees more money.

They are making a product that continually fails. Every underperformed dei hire should be fired.

Zero.

Walking into a homeless shelter doesn't make you homeless.

 

[Picaro]

Zero.

Yes, you need to deflect; your ideology demands you try and avoid the point.
