It has become absolutely clear that if we are to win this strike, we have to overthrow the dead weight of the IAM union bureaucracy.
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.
The agreement meets none of our demands, which we have made abundantly clear from the start, including an immediate 40 percent pay increase and the restoration of our pensions. No amount of bureaucratic spin can hide the fact that it is a pro-company sellout.
The whole of corporate America is lining up behind Boeing; the working class must line up behind us.
We have to press our advantage. We are demonstrating in every industry that we are the most powerful social force, and now it must be organized.
The Boeing Workers Rank-and-File Committee issued this response to the aerospace company's "Best and Final Contract Offer."
On Sunday, September 22, at 2:00 p.m. Pacific/5:00 p.m. Eastern, the Boeing Workers Rank-and-File Committee is holding an online meeting to mobilize the broadest support in the working class for the 33,000 striking Boeing machinists.
