From the Machinist VOTE NO website We Spoke Today Loud & Clear - 67 Percent NO Weve proven that we are the Fighting Machinists and in the face of immense pressure from the company with threats to our livelihood and our economic security, weve proven we will not buckle to corporate threats and intimidation. Never in our history have we ever had so much on the line in one vote. As we all know, this shouldnt have happened, and we shouldnt have been put under this pressure. Today, we stood up and showed that the Boeing Company cannot take our power away. Now its time to take a deep breath and attempt the healing process. Tonight was a release of all the anxiety and anger, and we sent the message strongly. Now we need to take a step back and evaluate the path forward and prepare for the battle ahead because we must be united to succeed. As we have seen our pensions, our livelihoods, our health care and anything else we hold dear are all at stake. The ball is in Boeings court. We sent them this message. We must be prepared for a decision they may make and understand that if they take the work elsewhere, they are responsible for that decision. We just could not destroy ourselves in order to keep the company from making a decision that destroys union and non-union workers alike, our communities and the investors. We know the best place to build airplanes is right here and the least risk is right here. We stand ready to build the 777X because its proven that Puget Sound and Portland give the Boeing Company the best chance of success. This was a big victory in this battle, and we can all be proud. But we need to prepare for the war ahead. Solidarity is alive and well! Now lets get back to what we do best - building the best planes in the world. UNION YES!
