Boeing firefighters have been on strike since May 4 after the company initiated a lockout. Concerns have been raised by President Biden and Senator Fetterman over the lockout affecting the safety of facilities. The firefighters start at $51k, and Boeing wants them to work 19 years to reach top pay. Calls have been made for both parties to return to the bargaining table to secure a deal benefiting all.
I share @POTUS’ concern over reported lockouts that work against the union way of life. Boeing should focus on keeping critical safety workers and paying dignified wages, particularly given their recent safety and quality control issues where these safety workers may be needed. https://t.co/5QbMT3WGla
Proud to join the Boeing Firefighters Local I-66 last night in front of the Boeing Auburn plant to support their demands that Boeing end the lockout and return to the bargaining table. Everyone deserves fair wages. @IAM751 was already there, standing with @BoeingFFs https://t.co/0ZjIHoKKpf
Joe Biden is expressing concern that Boeing has locked its unionized firefighters out for five days. The firefighters keep facilities safe, and right now other workers are struggling to keep up. Firefighters start at $51k and Boeing wants them to work 19 years to reach top pay.
Collective bargaining is a right that helps employers and employees. I’m concerned by reports that Boeing locked out IAFF I-66 members. I encourage folks to return to the table to secure a deal that benefits Boeing and gets these firefighters the pay and benefits they deserve.
Boeing firefighters have been on the picket lines since May 4 when the company announced the lockout. https://t.co/FmGUb10MmH
