On the other end of the age and experience spectrum is Wilson Ferguson, 58, whos been working at Boeing almost since Subitch was born. The 26-year company veteran, who is president of the unions Local A and works as a 737 delivery mechanic at Boeing Field, led a militant rally a month ago calling for a no vote on Boeings first 777X contract offer. Union members rejected that contract by 2 to 1. My brief experience in a union environment many years ago echos this. It was only the older, high seniority guys (many of whom weren't worth what they were getting paid) who were the most radical.
The younger guys were mostly glad to have a good job. The older ones were full of resentment and bitterness.

From the sense of entitlement.
A company can can anyone at any time including the old timers collecting a huge pension.
I seen it at the company I once worked with, you know the old boy network where the older guys who had time there thought that they were entitled to be lazy because they earned it and thought that the lower ones had to bow down to them.
