An Appeal for Sanity: Boeing's Impending Strike

Do you really want to know the truth? I guess not by the way the authors of these articles publish opinions that mean really nothing. The details of the contract are rarely ever mentioned and all you get is the wage increase they tout as the best in the industry. You simply can not take things away and add them back in a different spot and say, "See we did so much better, so go ratify this contract."

The best description I've heard is as follows:
Take a sheet of paper and write 'Contract' on it. This is the now the current contract Boeing union employees are working under. Ok now go into negotiations for a new contract, Rotate that sheet of paper 90 degrees. See now its different,....No not good enough ok well do better...rotate that sheet of paper another 90 degrees. See we changed things up, the word 'Contract' is now upside down....isn't that better? No?, ok we hear you loud and clear and well fix this right with our BEST and FINAL offer. Rotate that sheet a paper another 90 degrees.....there you go, the BESTin the industry!

Its no wonder 87% decided to go on strike, why? Because they can do the real undistorted math!
It is truly simple: Record profit not shared with the employees who created it!!
