IAM / Boeing Tentative Agreement

The IAM has a tentative agreement in Seattle, Portland and Wichita with Boeing. They've improved job security, improved pension, raises and bonuses, as well as frozen health care costs at 2005 levels. They will be voting on the proposal this weekend. Go here for more info on the contract.

Bottom line - this is a big improvement over the contract they rejected, and they were able to protect their job security.

Let's pray that Vought can be more like Boeing. That they end their one night (one month) stand with these expensive gypsies and become faithful to their long term partners in this challenging business.

Thats great for them at least boeing has some since. Not sure if Tharp and his gang of idiots has any. Its cool though its nice to be around great people on the picket lines unlike our retarded supervisors. So yall have fun in there working 12 plus hours a day everyday killing yourselfs for nothing. Im having fun out here and am ready to stay out here for a while.
