Kepong's Weng Kee Restaurant may be known for their Ipoh ‘kai si hor fun’, but go for their dry curry mee and prawn mee insteadUnion members react as Aerospace Machinists District 751 President Jon Holden announces the rejection of a proposed Boeing contract and will go on strike from mdnight in Seattle, Washington, on September 12, 2024.
A strike will shutter two major plane assembly plants in the Puget Sound region and sideline some 33,000 workers. Ortberg argued in a message to staff that the general wage hike marked the largest in history and that a strike “would put our shared recovery in jeopardy, further eroding trust with our customers and hurting our ability to determine our future together.”Workers had sought a 40 per cent wage hike and critics have said the 25 per cent figure is inflated because the new deal also eliminates an annual company bonus.
Janousek, 55, who has worked at Boeing for 13 years, figures his raise is only about nine per cent after Boeing dropped the annual bonus. Philbin said he will work side jobs if a strike drags out, but that he and his wife have been holding off on having kids until the situation stabilizes.
