Boeing IAM 751 voted 67% NO! to reject the companies long term proposal.(completely gutting our previous extension from 2012)
The company was very aggressive on there demands as they leveraged the 777X build/wing assy against the state of WA, IAM membership, politicians.
Now.....we shall see what takes place next. Whether Boeing drives on with there threat of taking the 777X elsewhere, or come back with a counter proposal for us. The demands Boeing was making generally came from companies that are on the brink of BK(I'm very familiar w the mantra), but Boeing has posted year over year profits, record backlog of orders, stock price the highest I've seen in 5 yrs.
But they can't afford us.
