A little Boeing debate

Hardline Crawlers - Rock Bouncer Builds, Tech & Off-Road Trail Talk

Help Support Hardline Crawlers:

Polls opened at 5:00 AM. They close at 6:00 PM. Apparently the results should be released around 9:00 PM.

Happy voting. :awesomework:
 
Any way it turns out it's going to suck for some of the workers. Pretty ****ty that Boeing dropped this on you all rather than honor the contract that they already agreed on.
 
I wonder if reps will be at the doors spewing more bull **** to the masses who swallow it like the good sheep they are?

So your telling me that even if the vote goes either way the union dues arnt being well spent or honnered because they can just change there mind at boing and it doesnt really matter.

Im sorry I really have no reason to have an opinion on this because I dont work at Boeing...

I just cant seem to get this feeling that Ive heard that before and was victum to having money takeing from my check and not properly or honnestly spent..

And one last coment from a passer It makes me smile knowing that if all thies big companys keep feeding us **** and keeping us in the dark were going to end up lighting them up in one way or another.. Its just the laws of nature

You mean the extension that we already agreed on? Seemed to work last time. A little security instead of union arrogance was nice.

Don't read a bunch of crap that isn't there into what I wrote. I never said anything even close to that.
 
You guys realize that there is mass ignorance here on both sides of the table? Whether your pro union, anti union or anywhere in between there's plenty of bull**** ready to be spoon fed to you. You need to be smarter than all of that and think for yourself! First step is educate yourself on the facts which are probably different than what you're being spoon fed......

Not sure what I'm missing but I edited my opinions in red and just making an outside obversation after reading alot of this thread over the last couple of months.

:beer:
I'll save my 2 cents for beer to share
:rolleyes:
 
Yes which is your current contract.

So one extension is OK. But you draw the line at 2?

I didn't realize you were the only one that could read. Yes, there are miss informed on both sides that just like to listen and not read/choose for themselves. But I have found more ignorance on the NO side.
 
There is a bit of a downfall for me. I carpool with a union steward. So we just cancel each other out...

Where did I say that?.... What's happening now is not an extension of your contract it's a new contract to replace the current one. As someone posted likely a simple extension would easily pass.

It often seems that way.:haha:
 
This is the part you're missing.



I didn't tell you anything of the sort.... It may or may not be true but I didn't tell it to you.

Ah got ya I should of insighted that a lot of sarcasum and hummer is lost in tiping thus I might of missed more than that, on that note im on the same page now...

Well done sir.

The last one had changes as well. Just not as drastic.
 
The Big Picture

The writing has been on the wall since before Boeing sent production to SC. If you think this hasn't been a long set up plan by Boeing over the past 10 years you are out of your mind...Go back and look at the aviation history in the last 10 years Boeing has been posturing a move for a decade. It isn't the union contract that is causing Boeing to leave, the union is the excuse. Boeing wants you guys to vote NO. They want out of WA. The palms have been greased in other parts of the country. The behind the scenes deals have been made.


Glad I live down south it's gonna be a tough for the whole region but everyone and everything around the plants will be devastated when, not if, Boeing leaves. Our greatest hope is that we have politicians working Airbus to move on in when Boeing goes...Mark my words.

If it was that cut and dry, they wouldn't have even considered another offer.
 
I don't think we'd get anything done, i already get in trouble for having too much fun at work... lets just say the office seen some photos from my broken phone that got me a reputation for liking nipples:haha:

X2 on more miss informed on the no side. Most are just fallowing the union blindly and look at Boeing as the enemy. Last I checked the pay checks say Boeing on top and it was them who asked to work here, not the other way around.

There is a bit of a downfall for me. I carpool with a union steward. So we just cancel each other out...

I smoke at lunch with a union steward who knows I am not a huge fan of most of what the union does. We just talk Jeeps and wheeling and have yet to say a single word about the contract bs.

We talk about it on a regular basis. But we're both pretty level headed about it. There are good points for both sides. This was the first time he has ever voted yes. :D Wasn't very easy for him though I know that.
