Mondays and Wednesdays are loud at the vast Boeing factory in Everett, Washington. As the Machinists’ contract campaign heats up, the workforce has been serenading management at lunch with air horns, train horns, and vuvuzelas—plus chants of “Out the Door in ’24.” Forty miles south, in Renton, where workers construct the moneymaking 737, second shift workers have used their meal breaks to blast Bluetooth speakers at top volume with ’90s rap, death metal, ’80s pop, and opera—all simultaneously, said Jon Voss, a 13-year mechanic in the wings building.
Well, Boeing, you cut your staff and salaries to the bone, used your profits on stock buy backs & to give absurd multi-million dollar bonuses to your C-suite stuffed suits, and killed whistleblowers who try to rat on your inhumane business practices. Do you think you can figure out why you can’t attract talent now, Boeing? Do ya?
Meanwhile, your biggest advertisement to the labor force has been congressional investigations due to your management practices and products failing and killing people
Can’t think why people wouldn’t be excited to work for Boeing, who wouldn’t want to build their resume there?

Don’t forget you screwed over your unionized employees and moved production to states with weaker labor laws.
