Boeing Union Strike

Well, it's official. The Machinists Union "IAM" is on Strike. There's no word on how long the strike will last but I don't think the Union is going to compromise on the contract at all. So it'll be down to how long Boeing can survive without the workers. Or, until they can find away around the Union and get the employee's to go to work. Let's hope it doesn't last too long.

Info on the Boeing Union Contract

Here's a link to the Union's website where they are posting updates to the contract negotiations for 2008. Let's hope they come to some agreement before Sept 3rd. Otherwise the machinists will probably go on strike, which means my Dad will be out of work until an agreement can be made.
