  • The work stoppage will halt production of most of the company’s aircraft, including its best-selling 737 Max.

    Good. If these conditions were acceptable, the union rank-and-file would accept them. I would respect the union members’ choice whether they were to accept or reject this agreement.

    When wages are at levels where McDonald’s can poach these workers, this offer definitely appears like a pittance. Try harder Boeing, and you got this, bargaining team.

      You make a good point about respecting the choices of the workers. They know more about their situation than we ever could.
