> Also, is it actually good for the union workers in the bigger picture?

What's the alternative? Wait forever for Boeing to give workers a decent raise, which absolutely will NOT happen? Workers just got a big pay raise by demanding for it.

But yes, you're right that Union leadership is also spineless. Modern union leaders tend to appease the big bosses by giving in to what they want, trying to convince workers that the lower offers is the best they can get, and then trying to get the workers to vote for it. Stronger leadership would have rejected it because they know that workers are the soul of a company: without workers there is no company.

Among a certain people, the executive class is nearly worshipped as the good guys. God for forbid they get held accountable for anything not related to shareholders

> without workers there is no company.

Is they gradually move production to non-union factories in other states then there would be a company but no [union] workers...

Boeing already tried doing this. Several big Customers rejected deliveries from the non union plant because they were unacceptably poorer in quality.

I'd guess that has more to do with the incompetence of Boeing's management than with some inherent properties of union workers. Presumably they could fix that.
