IAM workers deserve a contract from Boeing that truly recognizes and rewards their skill and dedication, and the critical role that they play in national defense, not empty promises and half measures. The IAM, therefore, will stand shoulder to shoulder with its members in their fight to secure a better future for themselves and their families in the battle against corporate greed.
