On Sunday, October 27, at 3:00 p.m. Eastern/12:00 p.m. Pacific, the Boeing Workers Rank-and-File Committee (BWRFC) and the International Workers Alliance of Rank-and-File Committees (IWA-RFC) will be holding an online meeting to build support in the working class behind the Boeing strike.

With their defiance of a pro-company deal in a vote Wednesday, Boeing workers’ six-week strike has reached a critical new stage. The stand made by these workers in rejecting the contract is a staggering blow to Boeing management, the sellout IAM union bureaucrats and the White House, which had brokered the deal in order to reopen production at a key defense contractor.

Now, it is the obligation of workers across the world to join in defense of the Boeing strike. Workers must organize a broad campaign involving mass actions, pickets and protests. The enormous social power of the working class, in the US and internationally, must be activated in order to deliver a massive defeat to the corporate oligarchy.

This can only be organized through a conscious rebellion against the pro-corporate union bureaucracy. “If anything has been proven over the past month, it is that the chief obstacle to our unity is the dictatorship of the bureaucracy in the unions,” the Boeing Workers Rank-and-File Committee declared in its statement urging workers to reject the contract. “We have to connect a broad appeal with a rank-and-file rebellion to transfer power from the apparatus to workers ourselves.”

We urge all workers across the world, regardless of industry, to attend and discuss how they can build a common fight in defense of the Boeing strike. Register for the meeting in advance, and share this announcement with your coworkers on social media.
