Previous Contract Updates

It has become apparent that Boeing will stop at nothing during these negotiations. They are trying to use the excuse of “transparency” as a way to negotiate directly with the membership. They are measuring your every reaction to their proposals by posting what is being discussed at the bargaining table.

They are having their managers ask inappropriate questions at crew meetings and have already violated the law and committed numerous Unfair Labor Practices. We believe they are doing this in an attempt to force a substandard contract on you. They were successful in 2002 by only going after the 1/3 of the membership population so we would accept a substandard contract by default. Due to the fact it takes 2/3 majority to call a strike, they used our IAM constitution rules against us.

They attempted the same thing in 2005 but our members stood their ground and said NO to this tactic.
Boeing is different than any other company we negotiate with when it comes to playing games with your livelihood. They play hard ball and will try anything if they believe it will benefit them.
We are in a great position of strength in this round of bargaining and the Company knows this. They will pull out all the stops to limit what they will have to come up with as an acceptable offer to you. We are confident that we will be successful in gaining ground in this contract, we just need your help and support of each other to ensure we are collectively successful.

It is time to turn up the heat on the company, the company needs to hear loud and clear that you are serious about what it is you rightfully deserve.

Make a conscious effort to inform Boeing Leadership at least once a day that you ARE serious and they need to address your issues.
