Boeing Machinists will strike, readers say

Posted at 10:04 am

Reader Poll Update:

Herald readers continue to cast their votes in an online poll about the Boeing Co. and its Machinists union.

About 64 percent of readers say that the Machinists union will get enough votes to strike the Boeing Co. over its new three-year contract offer, as of 10 a.m., Sept. 2.

Roughly 6 percent of participants say they’re unsure how the votes will fall when the Machinists vote tomorrow. And 30 percent of readers believe the Boeing Co. has won over enough Machinists to avoid a strike.

In order to strike, the union needs 66.7 percent of its members to reject Boeing’s offer and vote to strike. The Herald’s poll is open to all readers – Machinists, SPEEA members, Boeing executives, community members, etc.

The poll will remain open until 6 p.m., Sept. 3.

Will the Machinists get enough votes to strike against the Boeing Co.? ( surveys)
