Boeing Strike


The Boeing Union workers are on the picket line as of 12:01 Saturday Morning. Once they were on strike they will have to strike 10 days even if Boeing caved today. There is a mandatory 10 day strike period. I do not see it being a short strike. The last one was 24 days. After 3 weeks Darrel can draw 150 bucks a week....Probably enough to feed a family of 6. They will be fine because they had money set aside for this strike. The workers knew it was coming. Boeing also has money set aside since they made record profits last year. It is projected it will cost Boeing 70 million a day. It will be hard on all of these 27,000 families but think what the Union Brothers have sacrificed in the past so the Boeing workers would have it as good as they do today. One of the things the Union Workers are wanting is to put a stop to Boeing shipping their jobs out of the country. You know I am still bitter that Bushie for letting my AT&T job be shipped to another country. Go Union....
