Boeing Workers Reject Labor Deal, Extending Strike

The problem is that Boeing, and in general numerous US businesses stopped working as a team and created a very adversarial relationship instead.
Yes, the Boeing executives screwed up everything they could with short-sightedness that can only be attributed to a capitalistic attitude gone wild to “eat the company today because tomorrow it will die”.

On the other hand, now, the workers are happily cutting their noses in spite of their faces.

The ONLY way to get out of this with a better result is to build a LONG term ABSOLUTE commitment by the company to TRULLY compensate workers, with dependence on results. Such commitment should be iron-clad, including making the employees first receivers in case of bankruptcy or similar dirty tricks by management, because there is always the risk that another 'jack welcher" will return to rob whatever value a team can build. Also, employees must get a say within management, and must truly get an advantage from such success as shares in the company, etc.

Unless Boeing starts to act as a team, I believe it is doomed. And part of starting up is a thin period for both management and workers. And yes, it does mean reducing compensation to management as well. SIGNIFICANT reduction. And those that do not want that may leave now, with no golden parachutes. I am not convinced that they justify their multimillion salaries, and that one cannot do a decent job on 150K/yr.
