Lockheed Martin on Strike!

[Blood Trail]

Well, it's official. After an overwhelming vote of 2400-149 (or something like that), we're in strike. The wife is now making an extensive honey-do list as I type this right now!

[Mayhem]

so do you still get paid? never went on strike, have always wanted to but i dont work in a union.

[Daniel75]

Why are they on strike?

[Blood Trail]

Why we striking? The usual: benefits, etc. we get $50 a week strike pay. That a far cry from $70k a year. Good thing my wife makes $15 more an hr than me. You might be seeing me on channel 5 with a pistol and a TBH hoodie.

Good luck to you guys.

I have very mixed emotions about unions. I had a friend who is at AA and he just got laid off. I know he wishes he was working right now as do many folks.

Not trying to say anything other than "good luck and I hope it works out for you guys".

I work for AT&T and am a CWA member. I've already passed on to your leadership my willingness and other CWA members to support your strike in anyway we can. Our union will be in the same spot next year trying to protect jobs while our "management" continues to make bad choices then cut jobs and benefits to keep their bonus. Best of luck to you!
