"Our upper management made a bunch of terrible decisions, so we're fixing this by firing the competent people who do all the actual work. Please buy our shares."
Don't worry. After this move or CEO and share holders will be happy, and that'll make our planes safer!
And the executives and management... who did this to Boeing, what will happen them while the rest are having their lives thrown into turmoil?
Nothing, because after all, they were simply executing the mission of the shareholders (who are blameless in all of this). Maximize profit, minimize cost.
This is simply more of that same mission. They hurt the company, we pay with our livelihood.
The executives got huge bonuses most likely
We should nationalize Boeing
This please.
It doesn't even need to be permanent, just enough time to replace the executives and board with competent people who aren't just trying to borrow and bust the company. The regulatory body obviously fucked up letting the '97 merger go through and need to rectify the problem not just continue to let it fester.
I am sure safety will improve... Cut Executive comp... JFC these parasites never stop
So we have learned their plan ton pay for those 38% pay raises.
The machinists got their concessions, Boeing staff should be 1 big union.. but divide and conquer.
Work Reform
A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
