"I have worked for the Boeing Company in Kent, WA for 17 years. I find the company to be very ethical and conscientious on making sure all the employees are well trained on the rules and procedures defined internally and externally by US government rules and regulations. In the last 17 years working at Boeing, I find that my pay was very competitive to others in other companies in similar roles. The benefits are second to none. Jobs were interesting and challenging at times. I excelled much when challenges were presented to me for difficult problems that my peers could not solve."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Quit treating the employees like DIRT, they all get their perks and raises, when it comes to the union they treat us like disposal waste.They have no problem taking work away to build substandard work, then blame it on the workers. Start thinking about how to retain, not throw away."
