Wed 16 April:
Management's plan thwarted
A mass meeting this morning of 500 Boeing workers and supporters at 6am prevented efforts to break the picket line. It was rumored that strike breakers in buses with assistance of police would bust through the picket at 6am and 2pm, however nothing eventuated.

Mass meeting tomorrow
Boeing workers will be attending a mass meeting at 6am and it is requested that supporters are present to assist with picketing.

Serious Support Coming
Given the gravity of the situation with 700 strikers potential facing fines and no end in sight it is anticipated that the dispute could continue for a while. Efforts are currently underway to organise funds to help the workers and provide material assistance to the picket. If you can assist with funds, food or picket support please let us know: contact@unionsolidarlity.org

Background:
The dispute started on Monday April 7 when Boeing sacked a worker and suspended another without going through the agreed dispute settlement procedure. Workers believe that another 8 workers face a similar fate. Efforts to the resolve the dispute failed on Wednesday April 9 workers walked off the job. Boeing then started legal moves which now see the workers potentially faces fines. more background
