The strike has literally only been days. Furloughs generally don't happen for a long time. This is a strong arm tactic against IAM workers. It's like everyone has forgotten about the Senate hearing a few months ago when Hawley pointed out that the workers have only gotten a 1% raise since 2008, and told Calhoun to give the workers a substantial raise, to which Calhoun agreed. The offer that was rejected by 95% of 33,000 workers, and 96% voted to strike against was a shell game that would have resulted in reduced take home pay. 96% of 33,000 people don't vote against something that is in any way even marginally reasonable.
Ok, furlough me 1 week out of the month, and workers lose alittle, but the company looses millions and credit rating and confidence and brings to light the fact that they are not paying enough to retain quality people or for people to care... STRIKE
There is zero consumer confidence, even less now because worries of sabotage, union gets you for 1200 a year each and doesn’t have the decency to give you a reach around or even a Kleenex, should give you same contract every 3 months until strike over
@SG-oi9ie the company usually sends the managers and supervisors to do thr job butvwhen the strike is over, you have to go and fix all the messed up parts which puts us back even further..
Boeing should take this opportunity to move production work to Texas and Florida where there is more space, affordable housing, lower traffic and crime. Move out of Washington, housing is very expensive, the traffic and crime are high.
@@TeresaGriego-zu5tm Everett factory is in a terrible location next to the water with no space for employees to live. The Everett factory building is old and served its purpose. Boeing needs a new modern factory and Texas has plenty of space for it and new affordable homes walking distance to the factory. A all new beautiful planned city could be built that would serve Boeing for the future.
@@Luv_2_Watch no offence but read the comments , someone says "60 bands" and someone says 30k and another say 100k...I don't know if they're lying but alot of them are saying they have enough for a year. I hope the strike is resolved soon. There's no point striking against a company which is already in a bad shape.
@@pranabgill1310I seen that too going through comments from various news outlets, I personally would never fly boeing and our company only books us Airbus and Embraer flights, now a lot of flyers worry about sabotage too
If the union “wins”, guess who will pay for it. Not the corporation or execs, it will be consumers. Great, more cost of living increases for the average Joe.
@@adamdelorenzo5407its a chain my friend. Example: cost of shipping will go higher, expensive planes=excessive fee."things" will definitely get expensive really quick.
Furlough the top brass!
Bean counters & upper management make way more than the rest of the company and cause most of the problems.

In the meantime, AirBus has delivered 46 orders in August. 447 orders have been delivered in 2024 so far. Boeing has been losing market shares
While Europe losses freedom of speech.
Paying the price for so many years of corporate greed.
Furlough workers, now that will make things better 😅. PS. > I guess they dont care about the holidays coming up either.
Yes they will have the managers and supervisors do the jobs😅😅
@@DarthVader-ESB The managers and supervisors are the ones going out on furlough...
@@DarthVader-ESBI’ve known my manager for 20 years. He’s a good guy, but he could never do my job. My cellphone will be off while I’m furloughed.

In 6 months you’ll be begging and homeless
You make planes that fall apart and you want more
Lol
Then why are credit cards 34% . That is criminal
This is illegal. We'll see what if the labor board actually acts on it though.
Let it happen me and my girl got 60 bands saved up we can go till next year. Wanna play games we can too
Airbus is laughing
Who Airbust???? 😂😂😂
Yes haha Boeing poster child to sell more airbus
New CEO is poo
Boeing couldn’t of asked for a better Christmas present
Yes, 6 months from now they be begging for last contract 😂

You do realize that the Everett factory is the largest building by square volume in the world. You can't just pick up and move that

@@jacque4697 and that costs money. You really think that Boeing employees are just going to pick up and move? The trained workers are HERE
@@TeresaGriego-zu5tm we just got 15 million new young men in the country who could be trained quickly and would be thrilled to work for half the wage.
@@jacque4697 there is no "quick training.". You think they just pull them off the streets and throw them on the airplane?
And the penny drops. You don’t threaten a company dying to get rid of you
Many boeing workers are bragging about money they have saved for the strike. That makes me wonder if you are overpaid for the shitty work
I work at Boeing and literally NO one has ever said that at work, or on the picket line. You lied.

Being able to save money wow hate to think of your income. Pay check to pay check things I don’t understand.
Cause they give the CEO alot money to leave.

Yes because the cost of commercial airliners will effect your cost of living😂

@@adamdelorenzo5407actually the world doesn’t need boeing commercial, Airbus is doing great and not killing innocent passengers
@@chirayudesai793 That’s a very cruel and snide remark.
