Boeing: Putting Out The Labor Fires BusinessWeek Online
What Stonecipher didn't tell the assembled 3,000 Boeing Co. employees was that 10 days earlier, he had quietly approached the chief of the company's biggest and feistiest union, the International Association of Machinists, to offer an olive branch. At that meeting, Stonecipher not only told Machinists President R. Thomas Buffenbarger that Boeing would build the plane in Everett, he went much further -- offering to work hand in hand with the unions to end decades of bitter labor relations that have sunk employee morale to an all-time low.
