The union said that it will refuse to vote on Boeing’s “best and final” proposal on September 27, the deadline to ratify the company’s offer.

    Yes, but their raises haven’t kept pace with inflation for like 40y. Currently many of them could make as much or more flipping burgers. They deserve proper pay. Boeing did FAFO by trying to outsource and they are in the FO part where the union has power now that outsourcing has proven to be non-viable.

      I do think all contracts should index to inflation. But I’m not in the union to nobody cares what I think.

        I think some economists would blow a gasket at that thought, since limiting spending power is the best way of controlling inflation without hurting the big fortunes.
