Well, you are at least smart enough to realize this. But this is exactly why the Machinists need to strike. Boeing is too important to fail. The DOD needs Boeing, so they can never fail.

A quote from a Reuters artlicle about the striker's healthcare ending:
"There is no reason the health benefits question could not have been punted on to allow more time for negotiations at the table," Bryant added in a statement.
I'm sure that Boeing is saying that the workers could have punted on the strike deadline to allow more time for negotiation as well. That's the thing about self help....... both sides are released.

I'm worried about the economic secruity of the US economy which pretty much needs boeing to survive and is the only major export this country still has. Plus many of our jobs and advancement relys on Boeing giving us aircraft, some of us will lose money because of these people.
It also annoys me that we aren't allowed any kind of job action despite the fact that our jobs can't be replaced but people with a high school education and paralyze the economy.

It’s 62% over 5 years. The contract they were replacing from 2017 was only 11 percent over 5 years. They got a way overdue raise considering their parent company made 800% profits during that time. FuPM ! Looks like labor is making a comeback.
