IAM Air Transport GVP Richie Johnsen Walks Boeing Picket Line

IAM Air Transport Territory General Vice President Richie Johnsen was recently in Washington state and Oregon to visit with striking IAM members walking picket lines at the Boeing plants.

"This is currently the largest strike going on in the United States, and IAM members are taking this fight directly to Boeing management," said Johnsen. "Members are totally united and solidly behind their IAM union negotiations team."

Johnsen walked the strike line and talked to many members about the key issues of the strike.

"The IAM Air Transport Territory solidly supports you," Johnsen told striking members. "You are fighting not just for yourselves, but the entire labor movement. I'm proud of each and every one of you and the IAM Air Transport Territory with its 100,000 members solidly support you."
