Machinists’ strike, Day 1


Posted at 11:29 am by Michelle Dunlop

Machinists are stationed outside each of Boeing’s gates here in Everett, picket signs in tow, less than 12 hours into a strike.

I checked in with Boeing this morning. No meetings between the company and union negotiators have been scheduled.

Boeing has added an extensive Q and A section on their negotiations Web site, addressing many of the concerns striking Machinists may have.

A few things to note: Striking Machinists, in general, are not allowed to log in to their work e-mail accounts from home. However, striking union members can still send their children to day care and still use the company’s fitness centers.

The Union also has information for members on strike at its Web site.

Check out our photo gallery of union members hitting the picket lines early yesterday.

Share your photos from the picket lines. We’ll put together a readers’ photo gallery, and I’ll post some of your photos on the blog. E-mail your photos/info to Justin Best, The Herald’s photo editor.


I’ll post some reader comments later this afternoon. Continue to send me your thoughts on the strike or post comments below.

Also, I’ve updated the reader poll that we posted yesterday. Many of you wrote to suggest that I add a category for a longer strike. Vote away.
