Boeing Workers Demands Safety and Accountability!
One of the world's major aerospace manufacturers, faces a massive strike where 32,000 employees take a stand. The reason behind strikes happening in Boeing includes dangerous working conditions, management’s priority of output over safety and the growing dissatisfaction of employees believing they are no longer valued in the company.
Employees on the ground are fighting back, demanding that safety and quality should come first, as Boeing's upper management focuses on stock prices and faster production. Striking workers say that the pay is similar to fast food positions, with significant turnover and a growing gap between management and those who build the planes. Boeing has also been reducing assets, outsourcing engineers, and eliminating its quality department, putting more pressure on mechanics to reach unachievable deadlines.
