but yeah, just wondering if anyone knows of any openings anywhere.. doesn't have to be auto related. i'd like it to be though..

thanks

decent. It is hard work, but it pays the bills. I used to work for them when I was in High School.

Once Boeing's machinist strike ends (hopefully sooner than later), Boeing will be hiring for both office and production assembly jobs. So far no orders have been cancelled due to the economy so the output from the work stoppage due to the strike will have to be compensated for (in Boeing's case it usually means hiring more people).

I hope the IAM is able to go back to work soon. I know many people at Boeing and it's too bad the strike has to occur during this economic downturn.

I guess McNerney is doing exactly what your company hired him for, to not give into these unions.

the longest boeing strike was like 2 months wasn't it? its already been a while here, might set a new record. they went into talks the other day but that flopped horribly and there are no plans for when they will hold their next talks.

plenty of family members and friends work for them, it's a bummer to see them sitting around without pay.

I think the longest machinist strike was 68 days. I think they're at 49 now(?). Yeah, this has the potential to be a record breaker. Talks broke down earlier this week and looks like another week atleast before they get back to the table. I hope some agreement can be reach since both sides are hurting bad. If the machinists can hold out until 90 days then Boeing will not allow it to continue much further than that or may not even allow it to get to that point.

I guess it's also worth mentioning to the O.P. that most likely the jobs that they will be hiring for could be relatively short (most likely less than 2 years before Boeing has it's next big round of layoff). But nothing would prevent you from finding a more permanent job if you do get in.

This is just too unfortunate. Who here is for the IAM's and their demands?
