Kudos to you Anon poster. You probably said it best in 1000 words or less then I have ever seen written. You should send that to the local papers for their OP/ED. I believe this strike IS NOT about economics because obviously the company has surplus revenue, but for other deeper more frightful reasons that threaten the core of blue collar labor in this country. Look no further then what Vought is proposing to IAM 735 and what Spirit Aero is proposing to the Kansas folks. This is a concerted attack on labor across the aerospace industry. Period.
