More to this story - Boeing and the Union were in negotiations - Boeing offered what would amount to a very large pay increase PLUS a $6000 per employee "ratification" bonus for agreeing to the deal - Union pushed for more - Boeing pulled their offer 2 days ago and now announces layoffs. Lesson: Pigs get fed, Hogs get slaughtered.
Maybe it was a play behind the scenes between the union and boeing to seem as if they were trying to be generous. Intentionally giving a good deal knowing the union would turn it down, allowing them to layoff, while still "showing face." I'm sure they union still got paid

I don't know of any union that does what's best for its members....
