After 57 Days, Boeing Is Back Online

Some of the key deal points reached today between Boeing and the machinist union:

• 15% raise over four years (sounds fair)
• Union workers will do the delivery work that suppliers would generally handle (this sounds like bullshit)
• Maintenance workers can’t get canned if subcontractors are doing similar work (bullshit)

The union cost Boeing $10.3 million per day (over $.5 billion over eight weeks) and stock is down 21%.  You tell me whether you think unions are good for America.  I think not.
