There is also the lazy old timers that hide behind a little badge and only have it so they don't have to worry about layoffs. That is a problem in my book. I started working at Boeing this past summer and I work circles around many of the GOOD WORK ETHIC old timers (not), and I will be the one to get laid off just because of lack of time and not value to the company.

The Contract is on the IAM website, read it and decide for yourself what is best for you.

Well stated comdep. 1/3rd of my time at Boeing has been on strike. I don't have the reserve that many of you do, and don't want to cross the line.The Union has put many of us in a very difficult situation and clear reason why. This is my first time dealing with a Union and so far I haven't been too impressed. Time to go back and do the jobs that we were hired to do.

I agree, I don't understand why everyone wants to given everything on a silver platter. From the BAFO there were items that needed to be address and I feel they were. Now it's not enough, if you don't like it then quit your job and see if you can find something better outside of Boeing.
I just started 4 months prior to the beginning of the strike, when I first saw the contract I was quite happy with it. After talking to some of the members that had been there for years I started to see what all the concerns were about. I voted to turn down the contract. This time I am going to vote for the contract.
Looking forward to getting back and do what I was hired for.
