So the union approved a contract extension today. The 777X is staying in Seattle.


The contract was better than the last deal, but still not that great.

New York Times article reported that this agreement passed narrowly!
51% voted in favor. That is about as devided as it gets. There is a book out (What Union No Longer Do) That the article says addresses this comtemporary issue.

I spent a few yerars in a union, and saw the pension disappear with bancrupcy. Thomas Buffer, the head of IAM national called the current situation at Boeing "The Tail Wagging the Dog" since none of the other groups are getting a pension anyway.
