Yea, that is why all the countries doing much better than us have higher union density. Not to mention that only 10% of jobs in America are union. It is the union's fault that the CEO class share of profits has gone up 50X while the workers share has dwindled to nothing? And why am I the only person bringing up actual data and facts to back my position, while you make stuff out of whole cloth with nothing backing it except your hatred of the American working and middle classes?

LMAO @ the psychobabble.
Yes, the typical place that happens is in front of a mirror.
Poor Boeing...things are so bad for them that they had to receive the largest state subsidy in history...

I don't know how they will keep their doors open without taxpayer subsidies...
Maybe, if Boeing continues to pull this kind of bullshit with their workers, the citizens of Washington will say, "NO MORE!" to the company...MAYBE. (but I doubt it.)
If Boeing can't do right by it's employees, perhaps it should be federalized, failing that, perhaps ownership should be passed on to the employees. It is rather apparent that the CEO class want to stab their own workers in the back to pad their own pockets.
A 1 percent raise every other year for 8 years..... and it's union greed that is the problem.
Gone are the days when CEOs chased innovation...... now they just chase down ways to screw the employees.

The CEOs job is to ensure that the company makes money.If Boeing can't do right by it's employees, perhaps it should be federalized, failing that, perhaps ownership should be passed on to the employees.

Which countries are doing much better than us?
Once again, until our society in any way shape or form resembles Germany, it's a shitty example.
American executives argueconveniently enoughthat their compensation should be compared to what other American executives are paid. This argument has tended to be persuasive to American boards, whichconveniently enoughare made up primarily of American corporate executives. And big American investment management firmsalso led by American corporate executiveslikewise think this makes sense. Which is all quite nice, but if you tried convincing one of these very same executives that he shouldnt replace an American factory worker with a cheaper Chinese one, he would laugh you out of the room.
I think some people in this thread have blinders on or something. They spew the same communist crap constantly and ignore the facts. . .Do you think they have a spade bit installed as well?
So what is the justification for this union's behavior?As usual you are leaving some pretty important facts.
Every employee of Boeing will receive a $10,000 bonus.
Average salary of a Boeing employee is $83,000 WELL above the national average.
Boeing stock has almost doubled in the last 12 months.
Ya, that sure looks like a failure of Capitalism to me.
Germany for one. And they would be doing even better than they are if they weren't propping up the rest of the EU.
And as usual, you're a dumbass that never learns anything.You are correct about that. Union membership in Germany is about double that of America. Imagine that, thriving unions and a thriving economy..... who would have thunk it. Weirdly enough, their CEO's are paid vastly LESS than American CEOs.

If the only people to employ were dipshits like you and your ilk, I wouldn't blame every single company for moving their money and jobs as far away from your grubby paws as possible, leaving you and your lazy ilk to beg for scraps from your precious government. (Which actually would just tell you to STFU and pepper-spray your ass every time you got too loud).By the way, Zaap, can you provide a single reason that any company should stay in America.
And as usual, you're a dumbass that never learns anything.
Guess you missed the part about how in Germany, women typically don't work (halving the workforce) and salaries have remained stagnant for 20+ years now. No one there would employ an idiot like you for more than a day there- guaranteed you'd be whining about work conditions there in the very first minute.
Seriously, if I ever owned a business and my employees voted to unionize, I would shut it down.
Unions are the worst thing for business and are even worse for employees.
Because the managers had locked the doors to the stairwells and exits a common practice at the time to prevent pilferage and unauthorized breaks[6] many of the workers who could not escape the burning building jumped from the eighth, ninth, and tenth floors to the streets below. The fire led to legislation requiring improved factory safety standards and helped spur the growth of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union, which fought for better working conditions for sweatshop workers.

Yeah, we should get rid of unions and go back to the times when employers locked their workers in the building.
Obviously you have no clue about US Labor Laws that protect workers.
Which are in place because unions campaigned for them.
