Sounds like the workers have a lot of leverage now, and should push for a great deal.

Well cunt, the decisions you and your c suite predecessors made led to this situation in the first place. Find a solution and earn your wage for once.

He literally just started with no prior work for Boeing. It's not his decisions.

The inevitable govt bailout will be more expensive if payroll is higher though

[–] Delta_V@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

That sounds like leverage to me. All the more reason to pay the workers what they're asking for instead of putting the "recovery in jeopardy".

But without abuse of workers, how can they keep building faulty doors that break off mid air?

"Won't anyone think of our precious bottom line?"

That’s the fucking point.

Boeing workers tell boss, "no shit".

You know what puts workers in jeopardy? Corporations paying poverty wages.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

BETTER GIVE THEM THEIR FUCKING PAY THEN, EH?

It's all fun and games when someone loses their home or whatever because they lost their job right? God forbid the shareholders take a dent.

[–] Arelin@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 month ago

Almost like they should listen to the demands then

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 7 points 1 month ago

Fuck the 25% raise. Hit ‘em when they’re weak. Strike anyway.

Oh wow, I guess they must've secretly been striking for years then
