Today in Labor History Dec 14, 33,000 Workers ended a 69-day strike at the Boeing Co. (WON)

December 14

Daniel DeLeon, socialist scholar and labor organizer, born - 1852

December 14, 1995 - Members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers ended a 69-day strike at the Boeing Co. The 33,000 strikers gained increases in pay and health benefits and job protections against subcontracting. A key issue in the dispute was Boeing's increasing use of overseas companies to produce parts for its airplanes.
