    “The union made non-negotiable demands far in excess of what can be accepted if we are to remain competitive as a business,”

    My dude, you literally have no competition! Your management bankrupted them by doing the same shit there that you are doing here! You know, before you all managed to fail upwards.

    If you manage to be insolvent while running one of the largest monopolies on the planet, you should get checked out by a doctor, because it takes more than either base grade stupid or base grade malicious to be able to do that.

    Also, isn’t the whole reason Boeing is in hot water since they can’t build shit right the fact they tried to fuck over the unionized workforce by building another factory in the Deep South, but the shit that comes out of there is falling apart? Seems to me, they need the union, not the other way around.

      The 737 factory is unionized, and it’s not having any fewer issues.

      They’ve just acquired a terrible management culture. Even the military and space contracts have gone down the drain.

        It is criminal how badly the company has been run for the last 3 decades. I can’t believe Vanguard, Black Rock and Newport (3 largest shareholders) haven’t sued the board for negligence.

          Given their track record, I would bet those investments firms were a large part of the reason employees haven’t got adequate raises in the last decade.
