What will be fallout from vote?

Who will be the winners and losers from Friday’s vote regarding the Machinists’ contract with Boeing? Will it be those whose jobs will be lost, or who will never be hired?

It seems as if justice is a long-term process, but staying in the game will permit the reach for it.
