Airline workers to support Boeing Machinists on picket line

Posted at 12:00 pm by Michelle Dunlop

The striking Boeing Machinists will get some support on the picket lines tomorrow from airline workers.

Employees from Alaska and Horizon Air will join the Machinists from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Thursday in Seattle. The unionized employees of Alaska Air Group are taking the Machinists’ side in the ongoing labor dispute with the Boeing Co. The Alaska employees know a bit about contract disputes – Alaska’s pilots have been in contract negotiations for 21 months.

“As the largest labor group in the state of Washington, working for our state’s largest private employer, their fight is our fight,” said Alaska Airlines Capt. Bill Shivers, chairman of the Alaska Master Executive Council of the Air Line Pilots Association, in a press statement. “It is the fight against outsourcing and corporate greed. If they succeed, it makes it harder for other employers to justify taking the job security, wages and benefits we have earned from us.”
