Description

Aircraft assembly workers walked off the job early Friday at Boeing factories in Washington, Oregon and California after union members voted overwhelmingly to reject a tentative contract that would have increased wages by 25% over four years. The strike by 33,000 machinists was expected to halt the manufacture of Boeing's best-selling airliners, and is yet another setback for a company already awash in financial losses and damage to its reputation. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the ongoing problems Boeing executives have been responsible for during recent years and how workers have frequently had to bear the brunt of the consequences.

The union told its workers to accept the contract. 96% told both the union and boeing to suck it!

This is the reason Unions became so relevant over 100 years ago, greed and a disrespect for the workers.

Boeing skipped out on inspections and punished inspectors for flagging issues. This is what we learned from the whistleblower who they killed in his car.

Washington state residents, including boeing employees, were taxed to bailout boeing. Their working hours were taxed to support a company that won't pay their people a fair wage. All the while, outsourcing their jobs to lower wage and less workers rights areas. And its no wonder the planes arent safe, its the least of their concerns. Working in aviation, safety should always been PRIORITY NUMBER 1

Sounds like Boeing isn't running a company so much as running a GRIFT.

One thing we all agree on: most people don’t like when the state gives subsidies to corporations, that’s not the socialism you want, and it definitely isn’t free market

They treating them like dirt, and if they report on their practices, they “take care” of them. It’s about time everyone did this.
