We are facing a national economic crisis. People are loosing their jobs and homes. The machinest should be thankful they even have jobs. But instead, they don’t realize how fortunate they are to even be working and make stupid demands that bring Boeing closer to financial ruin. Boeing should terminate all employees and relocate to China or Mexico where they don’t have to deal with unionized labor. At least in those countries, the people are gratful just to be working and have a steady income to put food on the table; not stupid ferret zoos.

As a Machinists I was really getting tired of the Star Bucks, the Tully’s coffee was a nice change of pace. When Boeing insisted that we start paying for own coffee that was too much for me. We are demanding free coffee for residence of puget sound. After all it was you who gave Boeing almost 8 billion in tax credits and infrastructure improvements. Since you can’t recoup your tax dollars through wages anymore, we thought the next best thing would be free coffee for everyone. There you have right from the picket line. For real comments and facts check elsewhere. The 8 Billion is the true part. Greedy Machinists LOL, The CEOs at Boeing have come up with a new clothing line, The Boeing suit, 3XL pockets to hold all their cash they skim off the top.

Is this for REAL??? Man, I wish we could get a ferret petting zoo, too! If Boeing gets one, I bet us State Workers could too. I’ll have to get our local union thug on that right away. Hey, gov! Are you listening? This just might turn the corner for you in November!

I agree with Tom Dover: a ferret petting zoo is the most important demand! If Boeing machinists get that “benefit”, then I’m going to see if my bosses will let us have a petting zoo.

If it’s good enough for Boeing, it’s good enough for us.

However, I won’t ask for the Kenya giraffe-hunting trip. I don’t like hot climates.

My European friends tell me that Airbus machinists have cuter, silkier ferrets. What happened to America? When did we lose our competitive advantage?

There's certainly someone here that needs to—achem—check their sources, but it ain't Mr. Maximus.

Where in the heck do you dig up this junk? You really need to check your sources.
