/>This week will mark two years since Boeing and its largest union, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) agreed to end the strike that crippled jetliner production for nearly two months. The four year contract is now at the half way point and a year from now negotiations will be getting underway once again between Boeing management and the IAM.
Crossing the contract’s mid-point, Seattle news station KIRO7 takes a deep dive into Boeing and its future in Washington State. The one-hour long, six-part program touches on all the usual suspects: 787 production, South Carolina, tanker, Airbus, 737 re-engining, P-8A progress, aerospace beyond Boeing in Washington State, China, local politics and of course, labor relations.
In addition to the six segments, KIRO has also provided the complete uncut interview with Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Jim Albaugh.
