It's a waste of time. There is nothing more for them to do. The contract was contingent on Union leadership approval and they disapproved of it. You can't change it after the fact, "Oh yeah, we were just kidding."

You think that if the membership forces it to a vote, and they approve Boeing's last contract offer, the Boeing will say "Nah. Your idiot leadership turned it down even though you all wanted it. We're going somewhere else."

The only way that makes sense is if they already have another option ready and willing to go with a more financially rewarding package. If Boeing wasn't willing to stay where they are and deal with the union, they would have never offered a second time.

Let me know if we get sidetracked and start talking about sautéed onions or something.
I sauté onions until they are caramelized then I add wild salmon filet with chopped garlics & diced lemon skins.

Wow. Epic.

For real, you never eat onions?

To me, they're like the crazy hybrid between a vegitable and a spice. If it's not sweet, any food can have onions added and it makes it better.

Onions and apples go great in a spinach salad with bleu cheese instead of dressing. Mmm.

Ha! The only thing that I eat onions in is salsa. Other than that, you can keep 'em

I don't eat ketchup either.....or salt for that matter (well, I don't add salt to my food). No real reason why.

I usually don't salt for taste.
