BOX 13150 PORTLAND, OR 97213-0150 Operating Engineers picket non- union contractor at Boeing plant Iron Workers exercise their rights and teach apprentices the meaning of solidarity. Operating Engineers Local 701 put up an area standards picket line at Boeing of Port- land on June 10. The picket targeted Integrity Machinery Moving of Portland for al- legedly paying workers below area-standard wages and bene- fits. Non-union Integrity was on site to move and install new equipment that Boeing pur- chased from DMC Machinery. According to Local 701 Business Manager Jimbo An- derson, when the picket line went up early on Monday morning, workers from multi- ple crafts walked off the job. Among them was an entire crew of ironworkers, members of Iron Workers Local 29. Shortly after that, a van-load of Local 29 apprentices showed up to join pickets. The apprentices were at the union’s training center located just a few miles from the Boeing plant at 19000 NE Sandy Blvd. “It was a good hit, we got lots of support and our mes- sage was heard loud and clear,” Anderson said. Workers at Boeing are rep- resented by Machinists Lodge 63 and the Society of Profes- sional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA).
