1 day agoSo can Boeing just delay raises for 4 years and then replace workers at 3 years 11 months mark, or do they have protections in place? How does that work?
This is exactly what I’ve been thinking. It looks like a win, but spread in time like that it is more like no loss at best, or time bought for Boeing to come up with less obvious way to screw workers over at worst.
Besides, 4 years is a lot of time for a worker. It wouldn’t be surprising if some people would have to leave the company on their own over such time span due to unrelated reasons, missing out on the potential raise. It is probably another factor Boeing counts on.
I’m glad that at least they got something, but I hope they won’t let their guard down.
