In the previously unreported talks, International Association of Machinists (IAM) leaders said they were prepared to agree to a no-strike deal through 2020, provided a list of conditions was met. Quite a change for the union from a few months ago.

Must not be so secret if the Seattle Times is writing front page articles on it.

Sure not secret any longer but they’ve keep a pretty tight lid on it up to now.

As a retired union guy and former local president all I can advise Boeing to do is head to South Carolina.
When I was in office I represented union members not a political party of limousine liberal/socialists/communists.

Ok...so we'll bring the work there as long as you promise not to refuse to do it....what? NO DEAL?
I'm sorry WA. I really hope South Carolina wins here.

Well, I think all the Boeing employees knew about it. At least my brother in law did.

I don’t know, they’ve had a lot of setbacks and I haven’t paid attention of late.

That may be but there’s some info in this piece that hasn’t been public info up to now, at least I haven’t seen it and I’ve followed it.
The union was laughing at Boeing for proposing a no strike clause and now they say they’ll agree to it with conditions.

Nows the time. Break the union.
The Boeing workers can then go get nice soft union jobs
at GM.

Used to be an almost weekly thread on A380 problems and 787 record breaking sales figures.
Now A380 are operating on 3 airlines and 787 is still in the barn.

Boeling says the 787 will fly by the end of this year. But given there track record with the 787 I would not bet on it.

There’s much to be said for that and that’s why I believe Boeing is going to set the second line up in SC.

Exactly, and they’d better get it straightened out or there won’t be a second line.

Boeing has seen the future in Detroit and decided to chart a different course. They got their headquarters out of Seattle. They’ve set up operations in the non-union South. They are prepared to ditch the unions altogether. That’s just what they should do. Unions bring nothing but ruin.
