Striking machinists at Boeing will vote Wednesday on a new contract proposal that includes a 35% pay hike over four years that could end a costly five-week-old strike, the company and union said Saturday.

35% over 4 years basically means nothing when the cost of groceries and rent is inflating beyond belief

The execs of Boeing can seriously go screw themselves

I'm betting the machinists can help them with that

Shouldn't they be busy screwing other things? Don't need doors flying off.

For fair wages, yes.

If that's what they get for ending the strike, imagine what they could.get by continuing

Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.


Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.
