Just curious what you think of the Boeing machinists who are on strike, not because of an economic or benefit package, but because of perceived disrespect paid to them by management. How far can management push employees until they strike or are employees just expected to take abuse from management?
Dunno, never worked for a union shop. Outsside of MSU, I guess - and that was silly.
The key is "perceived disrespect." Boeing machinists are well paid, have an interesting job, and are using the "disrespect" claim as a cover for their real reason for striking. Now that Boeing has finally started recovering its market share, the union thought that they could strike when the iron was hot and extract salary concessions from Lazy B. It aint going to happen and since the strike is almost three weeks old, they will likely come out on the short end of the stick.
