Meanwhile, as the US government is busy escalating wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, while antagonizing industrial nations like China too, another major strike has already taken place, this time at Boeing!

Members of the International Association of Machinists And Aerospace Workers, which represents 33,000 Boeing employees at factories near Seattle and elsewhere, overwhelmingly rejected a 'historic contract offer' with the troubled planemaker and voted to go on strike.

IAM said 94.6% of union members rejected the contract offer from Boeing, which called the offer "historic" and highlighted the 25% wage increase over four years as "the largest-ever general wage increase." About 96% of union members approved the strike, now unfolding at the planemaker's Seattle factories that make the 737 Max.

Apparently, under Biden's economy, a 25%  PAY RAISE is not even good enough to earn a living anymore..... let that sink into those who have thick skulls....

Jon Holden, president of IAM District 751, said this labor action "has been a long time coming, our members spoke loud and clear tonight," adding, "Clearly there were aspects of this agreement that weren't good enough." 

The last time Boeing machinists went on strike was September 7, 2008. At the time, the strike was over job security, outsourcing, pay, and benefits.

Now, as explained by Holden, union workers at Boeing have been plagued with 16 years of stagnated wages. This comes as Bidenomics backfires on the economy, with elevated inflation and high interest rates financially crushing the working class.

"Boeing has been in a financially difficult situation since the January 5 accident exposed deficiencies at its factories and forced the planemaker to reduce production. The company has been bleeding cash as a result, and its credit rating is hovering one step above speculative grade as it contends with a heavy debt load of $45 billion," Bloomberg noted.
