Boeing workers in the Pacific Northwest are staying on strike, having voted to reject an offer from management. They are holding out for a real pension plan and better pay and benefits. In so doing, they are supporting themselves, but also helping other workers and the economy, which can only benefit when a major corporation improves its standards. Click here to tell them you support them!
The striking workers at Boeing know that the company’s top executives and wealthy shareholders have received billions in stock buybacks and dividends, while executives keep lining their own pockets (with the CEO expected to receive $20 million in compensation next year).
In recent years, labor unions across the United States have been winning big wage increases and other improvements for their members, including those won by UPS workers (who merely threatened to strike), by writers and actors in Hollywood, by the auto workers, by hotel employees in Southern California, and recently by East Coast longshore workers. These successes can be expected to have ripple effects in lifting wages for others and in encouraging unionization.
If you are able, please join the Boeing picket line in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest -- or the nearest picket line of workers striking near you.
You can also help by signing and sharing this petition and adding your own comments to it. We will be making good use of it in the days ahead.
If you are on strike to build power for workers, democratize the workplace, and improve the pay and benefits received by yourself and others, we support you. By signing this petition, I commit to writing at least one letter to an editor or making at least one phone call to a news outlet in support of strikers. I will donate what I can afford to the unions at the links provided on this page.
