With an intact line of its planes grounded following several , potential preventable air disaster that cost one C of passengers their lives , Boeing has decided to kvetch itself while it ’s down by engage in what three ex-wife - workers are call in retaliatory firings .
Last May , a grouping of Boeing workers at a South Carolina facility successfully voted in favor of organize with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers — a move the companycalled“the last knell for manufacturing facilities like Boeing South Carolina , ” and quickly go to challenge on the base of its legality . While Boeing takes its gripe to the National Labor Relations Board , the building block remains in limbo , much like Boeing ’s own fleet of grounded 737 MAX aircraft .
Now , according to areportby The Guardian , three members of that same facility , have been fired for what the companionship say was a failure to report a boo strike ( the term used for when an object , ordinarily a chick or other animal , collides with a plane . ) Richard Mester , one of the fired workers , had recently been elected as a mating steward . Another worker alleged that follow the unionization vote , workload have increase for union supporter .

( Ironically , Boeing was revealed today to have also fallen even shorter than previously reported where prophylactic failing in the 737 MAX were concerned , when the Wall Street Journalreportedthat crucial particular of the plane ’s functionality were unknown to its own test fender . )
General council for IAM , Bill Haller , contended that the role of the firings is to scare workers who voted in favour of the union by revealing the uncertainness of their positions . “ They ’re not being subtle about it , ” he tell The Guardian .
Boeing did not directly respond to Gizmodo ’s asking for comment .
Naturally , Boeing powerfully disagreed with these ingratiation , claiming it “ follows a robust cognitive process to ensure end point conclusion are full judge and consistent with long - standing , seeable and objective safety , compliance and conduct policy . ” It supply that there “ has been no retaliation against any someone found on that mortal ’s feelings about a unification . ”
One ca n’t avail but question if Boeing ’s biggest problem at the minute is something other than one hundred - some - odd folks in a society of 153,000 that recently lose the public authority of every major airway .
