Boeing has withdrawn a 30% pay offer for striking workers as talks between the company and unions reached a stalemate in the third week of a standoff over pay.
The US planemaker said it had removed its offer that would result in a pay increase by almost a third over three years for 33,000 US staff, with no further negotiations with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) planned.
Boeing and the union held their latest round of negotiations with federal mediators on Monday and Tuesday, but talks collapsed with both parties locked in an acrimonious stalemate showing no signs of being resolved soon, Reuters reported.
Trash company with trash reputation does trash actions. And no one was surprised.
Boeing went from a company everyone was proud to work for to a company that leverages civilian death for profit.
But hey, in the interim the stock price went up and a few CEOs got richer. I bet the civilians who died weren't even millionaires. Tbh probably deserved it. /s
In a just world, Boeing would fuck off and go bankrupt instead of relying on welfare from the government to survive.
But we don't have capitalism for corporations, they get socialism, not citizens tho, citizens get homelessness and tear gas at protests.
Fuck Boeing and fuck every manager who worked there and didn't blow the whistle. All corrupt. All have blood on their hands.
Edit : Oh, one last thought. If we had UBI, citizens could turn on and pressure their employers because if they get fired, well they will still have their base-needs met. Companies would be safer and held to a higher standard with a workforce that doesn't fear termination. And we need to stop tying insurance and benefits to jobs, they should be separate. But that's a topic for another day.
TLDR, I said rude things about Boeing, then Boeing managers, then realized I was probably too harsh on managers because they exist in a system that rewards corruption and punishes truth with termination (death? TBD). Then I presented my solution to keeping whistle blowers safe. UBI. While doing so I noticed (once again) that our entire system is designed to fuck up people and protect corporations. The same corporations that see people as expendable meat robots, aka, "replaceable parts".
No, that's a topic for today and every day until we have it.
Boeing was the absolute worst company I ever worked for. The best company I ever worked for was bought out by them and we were all so excited. Little did we know.
Absolute garbage through and through.
This will end well for Boeing. Like their plane "incidents" end well.
They don't have enough hitmen to deal with the situation
My dad worked for Boeing as a test engineer in the 90s, but he saw the way the company was going and now works for Airbus lol
