Thread regarding Boeing Co. layoffs

The Looming Shutdown, Time to Change IMA Leadership.

Even in the best of times the Union has sought to reduce our benefits.
This can only be seen as a benefit to the Boeing Management Theme.
The theme is (cutting cost, cutting corners, cutting competition).
For us, the Union Members it is death by a thousand cuts.
Make No Mistake the continued cuts are Boeing Management Driven.
The Union now represents Boeing More than its Members.
Let’s Change That.

Union Leadership must Go; The Boeing Board of Directors must Go
The First One, We Can Change as Union Members

Replace SPEEA Leadership:
Boeing on Wednesday refused to budge on the terms of its last offer to
its white-collar union, and so the union’s bargaining team has decided
to resubmit the offer to the technical workers, who just last week voted
to reject it.

The contract was accepted by Boeing’s engineers, the larger unit that makes
up two-thirds of the members of the Society of Professional Engineering
Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA).

But the technical staff — almost 8,000 of them in the Puget Sound region
in the same ballot rejected the contract and voted to authorize a strike.

That split vote put the union in a difficult position, because it seemed
unlikely Boeing would reward the techs with additional concessions the
engineers didn’t get.

Union President Tom McCarty had expressed hope in an interview Tuesday
that Boeing might shift money around within the offer to increase the
guaranteed portion of the wage increases.

But in Wednesday’s formal negotiating session at the Sea-Tac Hilton,
Boeing refused any changes.

The offer provides 5 percent average pay increases in each year of the
four-year contract and leaves the current medical plan untouched.

The main negative change for the union is that the offer eliminates the
traditional pension for new hires and replaces it with a 401(k)-style
retirement-savings plan.

The decision to have another vote comes with no formal recommendation
from the SPEEA leadership on how its tech members should vote.

In The First vote, The SPEEA Leadership had Recommended Rejection.

But the wording of Wednesday’s union statement has what looks like
An Implicit Suggestion To Accept The Contract The second Time Around:

“While disappointing that the current offer eliminates the pension for anyone
hired after March 1, 2013, accepting the company’s last offer would lock-in
the considerable improvements we achieved” in the bargaining process.

SPEEA spokesman Bill Dugovich said ballots will be sent to technical workers
early next week and members will have 10 days to vote.

The union collects over $90.00 a month from all 30,000 IAM members , and where are we going to be when layoff time comes .We have no representation right now , they will sell out our members when ever they can , do no trust what they say verify it what you hear from other sources before you except anything from the union as truth .The union leadership has plenty of incentive to sell us out and not enforce the contract this time around . Going to crazy with no rules being followed with this lay off 2020.

Not Their Names: We can look up who holds the Position
President / Vice President / Executive Director / Vice Director
Hall Pass Monitor
Do you see how this works?

A favorite saying of union reps is
"U Don't want to Through the Baby out with the Bath Water".
The Union is not my baby nor are the board of directors.
Time for a new Bathroom.
Time to Remodel.

  • Well

Union Elections / Re-Calls
Who must go; state their Title and Association
Let’s get this going and remember such actions are a blow
To Boeing Management as we seek to breakup their cozy relationship’s
Winning back our benefits and dignity as the union has been selling both

Don’t Whisper to me that this IAM Thread is to be the domicile of church mice.
Show support for such actions or forever hold Ur whining.
Are Boeing Management and Union Leadership of the same Cloth at this time?
Then Weave new Cloth!!!

Corruption spreads, it metastasizes until it consumes the whole body.
Boeing > Lobbyists > Congress > FAA > Unions
We all can see the body rotting
