(Video) Introducing the Boeing 777X
Slick video from Boeing, with a few subtle digs at the competition (www.youtube.com) Más...I always find it highly amusing if an aircraft maker is promoting its interior cabin as "spacious" and "comfortable" since we all know that the interior will be determined by the buying airline. And in 95% this means more seats to fill up the space.
As a Boeing Union Member, there are things about the Union I would like to see change. Less hostility for one. I believe most members would have approved a new contract if there had just been a opportunity to talk about it. If the 777X is not built in Everett, it will have nothing to do with economics and everything to do with spite.
It sounds like your union rep needs to get off the dime.
The plane should be built in Everitt. The best planes being made by the best workers for the best manufacturer.
But as you note there's a lot of bad blood between the union and management.
It's up to you and other workers to get this done. Clarify what exactly are the workers' most important priorities and present the company with what will work for you in a long-term commitment, that will offer the company many years without labor drama.
You and the other workers must get a majority of workers to go along.
You guys have some of the best manufacturing jobs in the world. Don't let them slip away. It will be a sad story in history of US manufacturing.
Good luck. Make us proud.
