"I’m expecting solidarity. And as you can see, the solidarity is here. I’m expecting my union brothers and sisters to stand shoulder to shoulder, you know, arm in arm and let our company know that, hey, we deserve more. We are doing the job that is required of us and we need to be compensated fairly for doing so."

"So far what I’ve seen here is a lot of strong power with our union. A lot of the members are pretty upset about our first offer. We’re hoping that the second offer is what we’re looking for. If not, we’re just going to keep going against them. We’re going to keep striking and stand up for ourselves. I believe that we all want a better future, and in order to have that, we have to have better support in our company. And it goes the same for them. If they want a better future, they got to know that their workers are being supported properly."

"It’s unfair. The whole contract’s unfair. They’re taking too much away from us without giving us anything."

STORYLINE:
Boeing is waiting to find out whether 33,000 aircraft assembly workers are going on strike and shutting down production of the company’s best-selling planes.
Members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers are voting on Thursday whether to approve a contract offer that includes 25% pay raises over four years.
If the factory workers reject the contract and two-thirds of them vote to strike, a work stoppage would begin Friday at 12:01 a.m. PDT.
A walkout would be another blow to Boeing’s reputation and finances in a year marked by problems in its airplane, defense and space operations.
The union local’s president has said he thinks workers will reject the deal.
