Join the club, everyone is tired of the elite enriching themselves and laying off workers while expanding scope of work for those left. AT&T is no different than all of these other corporations that have the Lords and the serfs mentality.

“ Think about money differently, friend.”
Value is relative to costs. Companies that pay high costs (wages, high OT, and DOT) and don’t get a full productive day it offsets the value (revenue) made. No one in their right mind is going to try to defend the CEO pay but I will say that it makes no difference to our (yours or my) value or worth to this company. Unions breed mediocrity. The company, correction, the customers pays for that mediocrity. The bargained for and the CEO have a lot in common. They are both a protected class.
Nobody has been given food, money for food or grilling out at my location. Why is the union giving some chapters money for steaks and not ours?
“The reality is when most non-union types hear that employees that make close to $100k base pay for being fully productive for 5.5 hours a day plus OT, including DOT, are crying, the last thing they think about is corporate greed.”
How many hours a day do you need go be productive to earn Stankeys $30m?
Or do you think maybe the same thought process that’s applied to CEO’s and high-earners should apply across the board - being that it’s not about hours worked, or hours being productive but value added.
If someone tries to justify CEO salary they will say it’s that high because of the value they add to the company.
Same for a software engineer, software developer, etc.
For example, a software engineer maybe not work a full 40 hour week if they’re a very efficient coder but the software they write may create $15m in value for the company.
Did they earn their $200k regardless?
Think about money differently, friend.
There are no grills, feeding the crowds or any of that going on.
Then your local su-ks. I'd be looking for some new local leadership.
This should be on the Boeing Layoff Board
Walking the picket line isn’t mandatory.
Our local has assigned us shifts whether we want them or not.
It’s only if you want a check but it’s kinda defeats the purpose to just sit home, not be out there for the visibility and to inform the public.
The public sees you sitting around while on the job or picketing. No difference there.
“ I worked for Boeing in a white collar job. They were a good company and treated me well.”
The same can be said of telecommunications companies like the baby bells and AT&T. The key words are “they were a good company and treated me well”. Those were the days when American CEO’s only made about 15-20 times the avg. employee. Now the execs make hundreds of times the avg. employees compensation. Neither the profits nor benefits are shared proportionately with the employees below the c-suite.
“ Quit lying and making us all look like uneducated, entitled a..holes. We are doing what we have to do and hoping to go back to work ASAP.”
Number one, don’t see how grilling out makes one entitled? Obviously you are a company troll or haven’t been on any Locals FB pages because there are post and pics of strikers grilling everyday, we grill about 4 times a week at our location. If you are a member then get with the program, picket line duty doesn’t mean walking in a circle all day chanting or sitting holding a sign. We have to eat and having something to look forward to like a cook out with some music keeps the morale and unity up. Sometimes, we even play the game corn hole 😱. The union is paying for lunch depending on the member count for that day.
I’ve bonded and learned more about my peers in these few weeks than my 26 years of working around some of them. See you at the picket line with my grill fired up, stop by because we share. Sometimes we also share with the CP managers when they come back to the work center on their afternoon lunch. Look up those hundreds of FB pics showing members grilling out all over the 9 states.
Walking the picket line isn’t mandatory. It’s only if you want a check but it’s kinda defeats the purpose to just sit home, not be out there for the visibility and to inform the public. You don’t have to make it a drudgery, get involved and make some new friends. It will be over before you know it and the grind will start all over. Stay strong and in unity! 💪

Over the last month, I’ve had to work one site and visited two others. The only food there is the McDonalds and Wendy’s that the striking individual picked up for themselves on the way over to do mandatory strike duty. There are no grills, feeding the crowds or any of that going on. Quit lying and making us all look like uneducated, entitled a..holes. We are doing what we have to do and hoping to go back to work ASAP.
I worked for Boeing in a white collar job. They were a good company and treated me well. I got to work on a cool project too! Hoping they can get their head out of their butts and go back to being a good company again. I would work for them again.
Fire those malcontents.
Stankey is making unions popular again. As a management employee I would consider joining a union if it was offered to me. Why is it that Stankey works with a contract and guarantee but none of the management folks that actually do the work not get the guarantee. Everyone is replaceable including our herrless leader Stankey.
The reality is when most non-union types hear that employees that make close to $100k base pay for being fully productive for 5.5 hours a day plus OT, including DOT, are crying, the last thing they think about is corporate greed.
Are you asking Stankey was part of a bunch of bad decisions and recently received a 3 million dollar raise or Boeing’s leadership that put them into trouble?
I'm curious what people think will happen when the ultimate "victory" occurs and you shut the company down?

They use lobbyist to line the pockets and control the politicians, Large Wall St. funds control the BOD and Execs to funnel all the money to the top.They are eliminating good paying with benefits, middle class jobs by the millions. Layoffs, offshoring, contracting, benefit reductions and elimination. The globalist playbook where they make all the rules on everyone’s standard of living.
