Employees of three American factories "Boeing", which produce military aircraft, went on strike

35

Representatives of the labor collectives of three factories of the American Boeing company at once announced that a large-scale strike would begin on August 1. We are talking about factories located in the states of Illinois and Missouri. Attention is drawn to the information due to the fact that these enterprises are actively producing military products - aircraft and drones various modifications both for the US Air Force and for "partner countries".

The workers are dissatisfied with the terms of the new contracts that they are offered to sign by management. Three-year contracts provide for reduced pension contributions. At the same time, management offers each employee a one-time bonus of up to $3 for switching to this pay option.



The labor collectives of the three Boeing factories believe that the new contracts can lead to the fact that the size of their pensions will decrease after reaching this very pension. According to estimates, the reduction in size can be from 8 to 14%, depending on the position held. Moreover, ordinary workers will suffer the greatest losses in pension accruals.

More than 2,5 thousand employees of enterprises have rejected proposals for new employment contracts and are ready to join the strike.

How long the announced strike will last is not clear. It is important that the reduction in pension contributions for employees of the Boeing factories is announced against the backdrop of another record in the volume of the US military budget. The budget is growing at an incredible pace, and, as they themselves believe, fraud is being carried out with the financial support of employees of defense enterprises. This gives reason to the opponents of the current administration to talk about the lack of control over the allocated funds.

The strike of thousands of factory workers threatens to disrupt the production schedule of combat and reconnaissance aviation in the U.S..

      You give strikes throughout the empire of lies, east-west and north-south, I hope I will see the end of this pack, and it will be even more interesting to watch the Balts and Poles, turn their tails and hide in a corner.

        You don't have to scream so hard. This applies to all capitalist and feudal countries. But Russia is another heel in socialism, because everything that protects Russia was done under socialism. Great Yeltsin spun. Let everyone steal as much as they can.

      Workers of all States unite and overthrow the imperialist militarists laughing
      However, the "mighty" military-industrial complex of the entire scanty Euro-Atlantic world has problems. In Germany, tanks, one a month, in the states of the aviation industry, sadness. The "glimpses" of the mind of individual representatives of the West are becoming clear. Let's wait for a squeal - Ukraine deceived us))))

        But with us everything is spiritually strong and honestly transparent. Especially salary in envelopes, or monthly "bonuses". I am silent about the general violation of labor laws in terms of weekends, holidays and lunch breaks in the style of "when you snatched it, then you had lunch."

        PS And the capitalists are the same everywhere, in the US, in Russia.

          Since about 2007 I have been working on a white salary. There are no violations of labor laws. How I had to work during the January holidays. He paid everything according to the law. The salary is transferred to the card. Now I checked my wallet. There were no banknotes in it. I pay for everything now through World Pay. I am 64 years old. Is there something wrong with me or with you?

          Are we talking about your miserable salary or Boeing?
          If you sit on the priest exactly, then get yourself further in the envelope. But in general, there is a labor inspectorate for this and everything else. The main thing here is that Honduras does not play when you apply there.

      So much dough is poured into Ukraine, and they save on their simple hard workers ...
      This is the true face of capitalism, and our authorities are all moving towards it ... Maybe it's worth looking around and drawing conclusions?

      And a bunch of visitors from Central Asia, who will work for a penny, not only pay huge salaries to the Americans, will process NATO countries by making weapons for them, and the profit from our factories will go to our oligarchs' pockets, and they will go to the USA and the EU with this money send, which these US and EU will later take away from them. Those. will serve NATO free of charge, supplying weapons that they will use against us. Cool scheme....

        Who will do it, so it will be done. To work behind the machine, you need a lot of qualifications. It comes with experience. Simply, someone from the street will not be able to do what is needed for what flies and what turns the wheels.

      A strike by thousands of factory workers threatens to disrupt the U.S. combat and reconnaissance aircraft production schedule.
      So we wish that the strike took place and resulted in an indefinite one. It is necessary to support comrades at least morally - "The whole world is with you." fellow

      Strikes are only the beginning, but this is not enough. The states need a civil war, no matter if it is racial or because of the crisis, the main thing is that in the end there should be a complete collapse of this bloody monster.

      In the photo for the article, the assembly shop for the F-35. And it is made by Lockheed Martin, not Boeing! The illustrations must be chosen carefully.

      But I do not mind, the main thing is that they strike more effectively! Both Boeing and Lockheed...
