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).
