We believe in freedom of speech, and we've not deleted any comments before now, even when they are negative, or even those from management.However, speculation about names of those who have crossed the line is inappropriate, and can't be allowed. What if someone said YOU were crossing, when you weren't? Such comments cannot be allowed, and have been deleted.

There have been a few posts that show up "deleted by author." Once posted, you can't edit a comment, and some have deleted their own comment and started over. Posts we deleted say "This post has been removed by a blog administrator."

Any news on if they have brought contractors in or not? I have the night shift not much going on then but the lights from the airport.

Just so everyone knows there is a lot of support being shown by horns being honked and waves.

I picketed yesterday morning and saw 2 red buses come in. I talked to a guy who was picketing at 5:30 pm and he said he saw 2 red buses leave. I don't know how many people were on the bus, because the windows were tinted.

I was told vought will try to make it seem like all kinds of work is being done. So don't be surprised if you see wings move around or boxes move out. They want us to think they don't need us to move the product, but don't let it fool you. Remember how much the customers freak out when they don't receive their product.
I am very proud to be apart of this union. Stay strong.

We all know the amount of work that gets put into what you do. If they are truly attempting to make us believe that these "contractors" are just working so hard and putting out products this quickly DO NOT FALL FOR IT!!!

You should all smile and wave as they shuffle stuff out to make it look like "production". If there is truly anything being moved out it is more than likely the stuff the Union members completed before the strike!!

Hey there is a great way to look at this! Bring them on in.....

When this is over it just gives us lots of over time in catch up and rework.

Were are not that jokes punchline!

And we are hanging STRONG!

Vought is really bending the State / Fereral smoking law for the scabs.
Union Brother's and Sister's would be wrote up for this and then fired.

Hey brothers and sisters. I am a IAM 751 member from Everett, Washington. We are into our fourth week of striking the Boeing company. Keep up the faith and lets fight this corporate mentality that we should all work at poverty level while the management a-holes line their pockets off of our backs.
We as blue collar Americans are all in this together as are our brothers and sisters in Kansas. Solidarity!!!!
