I didn't think she'd start her crusade so soon after being elected but she did.
She met with the union workers and told them to take over the plant.
She didn't tell them to buy it out though..just take it over and run it themselves.
She also said they should re-tool the plant to produce mass transit buses instead of "war machines".
FYI..that Boeing plant makes commercial planes, not "war machines".
And she stopped there. Who is going to fund payroll, purchase resources, pay bills, provide the operating capital needed to run the plant ?
It's going to be pretty interesting to see how she votes on city agenda items.

That's fantastic, a socialist win. As the Republicans and corporate Democrats bring on plutocracy, perhaps there will be more democratic socialist election wins in reaction.

i hope boeing shuts down the plants in washington state and moves them elsewhere. and what would really be fun is if boeing maintains the plant property and pays the property taxes, and never lets anyone open that property again, until to radicals are gone from government. lets see how washington state would deal with the high unemployment after boeing leaves.

I doubt anything will happen.
Socialists never seem to discuss money.

If someone in the area was smart what they would do is show up early for a council meeting and simply take her seat. When she complains tell her that you are simply taking her advice and claiming what others own is now yours and if she wants it back, show up earlier next time.
Here's a cautionary tale for the Boeing machinists union.
Twinkies are back:

...Twinkies... are returning to store shelves. After acquiring most of the brand's assets for $410 million, the new owners... did quite a bit of downsizing, reducing the number of factories from 11 to four, the number of employees from 19,000 to 1,800, and outsourcing its entire distribution system.
The Hostess closing left more than 18,000 people out of work across the country—with the vast majority belonging to the Teamsters and the Bakery Union...
"I think any management team will hold up a photo to its workers of Hostess strikers and say, 'What's a union going to do for you?''' Bloch said. "The case can be made that they did nothing."
...As for Hostess, it will start hiring this weekend at the Dolly Madison Bakery in Columbus, Ga. {Note - Georgia is a right to work state}, one of the locations shut down when the old company closed.
Hostess executive vice president Michael Cramer told NBC on Thursday, "We are not going to invite the unions in. We don't have to."
